Paladius
#198
NeutralNeeds Paladius Saddle equipped — without that gear the skill does nothing. It unlocks at Technology level 61 for 5 points, so a Pal caught early can sit unusable for a while.
It and Necromus were a single being once. Nothing negative clings to its radiant form, and yet a trace of hatred still sits deep in its eyes.

How to Get Paladius
Paladius does not spawn randomly. There is exactly one, a fixed level 60 alpha standing in its own spot on the map, so this is a scripted fight you travel to rather than something you search for.
Paladius is Neutral, so a Dark attacker takes it down fastest — and a Pal it resists will drag the fight long enough for it to heal or flee.
Wild Paladius spawn at level 60, so bring something comfortably above that: an under-levelled team turns a catch into a damage race you lose.
Its capture rate is 1.0, which makes it dead average, which makes the back-strike bonus worth lining up before you throw.

Paladius Boss Rewards
Beating the boss Paladius once yields the Twin Knights Bounty Token. Holding it is the whole effect — it permanently raises the stats of every Pal on your team for as long as it sits in your inventory, so it is never worth selling.
The fight also unlocks Paladius Saddle, the gear that lets you ride or deploy Paladius properly.
Wild Paladius Level Range
Wild Paladius roam at level 60 out in the world — plan your spheres and party level around that before hunting one on the interactive map.
Best Paladius Build
Paladius shines as a mount. The passives below push that strength as hard as possible — hunt them through catches, breeding or implants.
