Pair Dark attackers with the right passives
Type effectiveness is the first multiplier on damage. The next is passive skills. The Combat Trifecta — Legend (+20% Attack/+20% Defense/+15% Move Speed), Ferocious (+20% Attack), Swift (+30% Move Speed), and Lucky (+15% Attack) — is the default combat build for any of the pals above. If you only fight one element of boss, the matching Dark Emperor passive adds another +20% to Dark damage on top.
