Knocklem Poison Tank

Updated

Let Knocklem hold the field while Poison enables damage, mitigation and faster rotations.

This community lineup trades peak burst for a forgiving boss loop. Knocklem is the durable active carry, Bakemi and Prixter reward steady Poison uptime, Dumud adds ranged pressure, and Lapure accelerates Partner Skill recovery. The result is an easy-to-pilot team that keeps doing useful work while the player dodges or reloads.

TipHow to play it

Lead with a Poison application, then leave Knocklem active to hold attention while you attack the debuffed target. Rotate to Dumud when Knocklem needs breathing room and use Lapure whenever key Partner Skills are unavailable. Reapply Poison before it falls off so Prixter and Bakemi keep contributing.

Compare every surfaced partner effect at base rank and full condensation. Effects marked Unique can still scale by rank, but duplicate carriers do not stack.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Who stays active most of the time?

Knocklem is the default field Pal. Rotate only to apply a needed status, use a Partner Skill, or avoid a bad elemental matchup.

What makes this different from the glass-cannon poison team?

It spends a slot on Knocklem’s staying power and another on Lapure’s cooldown utility. Kills may be slower, but the loop is much more forgiving.
