Rainbow Passive Sources FAQ

How many rainbow passives are there, and where do they come from?

The 1.0 passive data table sorts rainbow (rank 4) passives into four source pools: the wild-random pool (rollable on wild Pals and from breeding, 12 entries including Remarkable Craftsmanship, Swift, Demon God and Ranch Master), the rare-individual pool (Lucky alone, exclusive to shiny individuals), the mutation-only pool (carried by mutated eggs only, 5 entries including Immortality, Mutant and Babysitter) and the pal-exclusive pool (6 entries: Eternal Flame, Invader, Legend, Lord of the Lake, Salvation and Siren of the Void).

The classification dictates strategy: farm the wild-random pool by volume (fishing and wild catches both hit it), the mutation pool only through mutated eggs, while the pal-exclusive pool is in no random pool at all — no amount of wild farming will produce it.

How do I get exclusive passives like Siren of the Void or Lord of the Underworld?

Pal-exclusive passives are signature traits: Siren of the Void only appears on the raid boss Bellanoir Libero (every captured one carries it), Lord of the Underworld on Necromus and Frostallion Noct (since 1.0 Frostallion Noct spawns fixed in Sanctuary No.3, far easier than before), and Lord of the Lake comes from fishing. To put these on an ordinary Pal, catch the carrier first, then walk the passive down the breeding chain to your target — passive inheritance itself crosses species freely.

Why can't Pals like Shadowbeak receive exclusive passives?

The site's breeding data flags 26 Pals as self-breed-only: they hatch solely from a same-species male-female pair, and the tower partner trio (Grizzbolt, Lyleen, Helzephyr) plus Shadowbeak are on that list. Their parents are always two of their own kind, so there is no channel to import an outside passive. Pal-exclusive passives are also absent from the wild-random pool, so catching more wild ones will not roll them either. Where both conditions stack — a self-breed-only species plus a pal-exclusive passive — 1.0 offers no legitimate route, unless that species carries it innately.

This is distinct from the non-formula-breedable set (41 Pals flagged ignoreCombi): ignoreCombi means outside the formula pool, while self-breed-only constrains the child side to same-species parents. The two lists do not fully overlap — trust the calculator output when checking a specific Pal.

Can the Surgery Table implant rainbow passives?

The 1.0 Surgery Table can add a passive to a Pal directly, drawing on implants (a generic list unlocked by default, plus more traded for bounty tokens or arena tickets). What it can implant is the generic family — pal-exclusive and mutation-only traits are not on the list. Do not treat the table as a universal bypass for breeding limits; sort your plan by source before you start.

How should I set up parents for passive selection?

Inheritance draws randomly from the union of both parents' passives, so the larger that union, the harder it is to land your exact four. In practice, first breed two parents whose passives add up to exactly the four you want with nothing extra, then finish with Special Cake (which raises multi-passive inheritance). A union of five or more is you adding junk cards to your own deck. Chasing mutation-only traits is the opposite case — use Deluxe Vegetable Cake for the mutation rate during that stage.
