Dark Team Template

Updated

Apply Blind with trainer fire, then exploit it with the whole party.

This editable late-game Dark party for Palworld 1.0 connects the three element-support jobs to a Blind setup and payoff. Hoocrates raises Dark-Pal Attack, Wistella raises Dark-Pal Defense, and Croajiro Noct rewards Dark damage only against enemies weak to Dark. Venusa makes trainer attacks apply Blind, while Roujay raises player and Pal damage against that afflicted target. Treat the weak-point and Blind conditions independently; the page does not promise that every target activates both at once.

Every slot has a job. The cards below show the exact synergy, its rank range, who it affects, and a mapped route to recruiting that pal.

Party attack support01
Hoocrates 1 effect

Dark Knowledge raises the Attack of every Dark Pal by 15-30% while Hoocrates is in the party. Duplicate Hoocrates do not stack.

Dark-Nester raises the player's and Pals' damage against enemies afflicted with Blind by 50-65%. It does nothing before Blind is active, and its flying-mount role does not change the effect's party condition.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I play this Dark team template?

Keep Hoocrates, Wistella and Croajiro Noct in the party, hit with the trainer so Venusa applies Blind, then attack during that window so Roujay contributes. Croajiro Noct adds its separate bonus only when the enemy is weak to Dark.

Does Roujay increase all Dark damage all the time?

No. Roujay checks whether the target is afflicted with Blind. Hoocrates is the unconditional Dark-Pal Attack support, while Croajiro Noct checks a Dark elemental weakness instead.

Can I use the Poison alternates one at a time?

Only if another party member or attack already supplies the missing half of the loop. Dandilord is the setup and Prixter is the payoff; Prixter contributes nothing against an unpoisoned target.
