New unique skills

Unique skills are exclusive to a particular Pal, giving them an edge in certain situations. The Sakurajima update brings seven new unique Pal skills: 

  • Jumping Stinger: Menasting’s exclusive skill
  • Rocket Slam: Chillet Ignis’ exclusive skill
  • Protection of Fertility: Lyleen’s exclusive skill 
  • Raging Flame Wave: Faleris’ exclusive skill
  • Thunderbolt Heavy Tank: Grizzbolt’s exclusive skill
  • Polyceraunos: Orserk’s exclusive skill
  • Divine Disaster II: Shadowbeak’s exclusive skill

You can unlock the Unique skill of a Pal by reaching a level requirement. Pals inherit Unique skills through breeding, but only between the same species. You can’t pass it down to a different Pal. 

New Element skills

Element skills inflict element damage or effects on enemies. While Pals are born with certain active elemental powers, you can also feed them Skill Fruits to teach Element skills. You can pluck Skill Fruits from Skill Trees that spawn in various locations on the map or buy them from merchants.

For dedicated Pal breeders out there, the Sakurajima update adds five new Passives to enhance your breeding outcomes, so get to work.
