Is Menasting Worth Using?

Solid mid pick

Dark/Ground Pal with Lv.2 Mining and Lv.2 Handiwork — a durable combat worker for dark and ground coverage.

Keep if

  • Menasting brings Lv.2 Handiwork, Lv.2 Mining — enough to staff early crafting and hauling before specialists arrive.
  • Partner skill — Poison Sting — Attacks have a chance to poison enemies, dealing damage over time.

Skip if

  • Loses tempo into Dragon / Grass / Water matchups — bring a counter before hard fights.
  • Strong for a window, then outclassed unless passives or a niche role keep it relevant.
  • Narrow job coverage — pair with other Pals if your base needs mining, kindling, or farming too.
