Tank versus damage
Attack is only half the story. A Dark Pal with high defense and HP survives longer in tower fights, while a pure attacker clears open-world camps faster. For raids and tower bosses, mix one high-defense Dark Pal into the party so the AI absorbs hits while your damage dealers work. Element matchups matter too — Dark is strong against the elements it counters and weak against its own counters, so check the target before you commit a team.
