Best Attributes for Shadow Faedrake
To get better attributes, you’ll need to regenerate your pet. Regeneration will randomly reshuffle your pet’s skills and can also change its rarity. The results are entirely random, so you can’t choose the exact attributes you want. Out of the 6 possible attributes, the three listed below are the most important to focus on for Shadow Faedrake.
Focus on Intelligence first. This stat powers up all of Shadow Faedrake’s main Shadow Hunter skills, making a huge difference to your magic damage output.
If Intelligence is good, Luck is the next best attribute to improve your crit rate skills. Spirit can be helpful if you’re using additional skills like Magic Spirits or Resonance, but for most players, focusing on at least Intelligence and Luck will have the greatest effect.
Best Skills for Shadow Faedrake
For Intelligence skills, prioritise Shadow Hunter and Intense Shadow Hunter, as these are the main sources of damage for Shadow Faedrake. For your third slot, either Follow Up or Elemental Harmony are strong choices for boosting crit damage. Since you can only equip three Intelligence skills, be sure to secure the two Shadow Hunter skills first, then choose whichever additional option best suits your build.
For Luck skills, Intense Follow Up and Magic Fortune are good picks, increasing your crit rate and crit damage to deliver even stronger attacks.
Finally, for Spirit skills, Resonance is the best option for a flat magic damage increase, while Magic Spirits offers an extra boost to crit damage. Advanced Shadow Hunter is more situational, it extends the duration of Shadow Hunter’s captive effect, so consider including it if that fits your build goals.
Best Hero Pairings for Shadow Faedrake
Shadow Faedrake is the perfect choice for both Bertrand and Tohar, due to their single target magic damage. For other magic heroes who deal more AOE damage the Sapphire Faedrake is probably a better magic Warpet pick.
