AI Analysis

Overview

A Ranch-oriented Pal, available from early on (Travel, Ranch). Its role is to be placed at the livestock ranch to gather materials, and the yield isn't affected by work speed.

Its Partner Skill, Pacapaca Wool, lets you ride it across the ground. It can be ridden from early on, making travel easier than going on foot. Placed at the livestock ranch, it yields Wool.

The basic move is to keep it fixed as Farming livestock, tapping it as a steady material source. Prioritize keeping up hunger and SAN over work speed. Available from early on, so securing it early makes your early game much easier.

Recommended passives

Combat

Legend Musclehead Ferocious Celestial Emperor

To build Melpaca for combat, prioritize damage passives such as Legend and Musclehead. Adding Celestial Emperor on top is recommended to further boost the Neutral moves it can use at matching element.

Base

Diet Lover Dainty Eater Swift Runner

To build Melpaca for base work, stack passives like Swift and Diet Lover that speed up trips to the feed box and slow hunger loss. Work-speed boosts do little for ranch output, so keep them low priority.

Also worth adding

Insomnia

Melpaca isn't nocturnal, so it sleeps at night and work stops. If you want it running around the clock, Insomnia is worth a slot.

Travel

Swift Runner Legend Nimble

To build Melpaca as a mount, stacking movement passives led by Swift is recommended. Fit all 4 movement-speed passives to make it the fastest Melpaca possible.
