Primal Road
Breeding simulations to answer your what ifs!
Primeval Legacy is a fail-safe mechanism that protects the highest element average from the parents so it won't go below a certain threshold.
Situation #1: Same ED
P1 - Oasis | A17 E0 F42 W41 |
P2 - Oasis | A30 E0 F38 W32 |
O - Oasis | A24 E0 F40 W36 |
Result is obtained through pure average sum of both parents. If result has decimals it will be rounded of randomly to any element. So how will you slowly work towards your target ED? Through obtaining PL, Relics or Miracles.
Situation #2: Different ED
P1 - Foresty | A40 E26 F0 W34 |
P2 - Wasteland | A42 E41 F17 W0 |
O - Quad | A41 E33 F8 W17 |
"That's two Tri why did it become a Quad?" That's because you increased the number of elements in the pool buddy! Not all 3+3/2 is 3. We don't know if one of those 3 has a really sad backstory.
Situation #3: Same ED + PL
P1 - Mountainous | A0 E24 F21 W55 |
P2 - Mountainous | A0 F15 E40 W45 |
O - Mountainous | A0 F17 E28 W55 |
Highlighted in orange is Primeval Legacy. The offspring have guaranteed inheritance of the PL element and the remaining elements will be adjust and be averaged accordingly.
Situation #4: Same ED + 2 Different PL
P1 - Oasis | A40 E0 F23 W37 |
P2 - Oasis | A22 E0 F55 W23 |
O - Oasis | A23 E0 F55 W22 |
If parents have different PL only the highest elemental average will be protected. Avoid breeding two different PLs, you're just wasting it. If parents have the same PL please refer to Legacy Stacking. If - for a rare instance that the average of A is higher than F... A will be protected. So be very careful when breeding your PLs.
Situation #5: Same ED + P1 Different PL
P1 - Mountainous | A0 E39 F35 W26 | A35 E35 F0 W35 |
P2 - Mountainous | A0 E41 F21 W38 | |
O - Mountainous | A0 E40 F28 W32 |
This one is another rare case where a PL is from a different ED, like this Mountainous having the PL of an Foresty. Only elements available to both parents will be affected which is E and W and since PL only protects the highest element average from both parents then E will be triggered in this case... but wait there's something wrong with the equation above?
Situation #5 pt.2: PL Won't Trigger
P1 - Mountainous | A0 E39 F35 W26 | A35 E35 F0 W35 |
P2 - Mountainous | A0 E41 F21 W38 | |
Raw Pure Average | A0 E40 F28 W32 | Higher than PL number |
O - Mountainous | A0 E40 F28 W32 |
"PL protects the element that has the highest average." If the average sum of the highest element is higher than the PL number, it will not trigger. What will you do then? I suggest waiting for gameplay and keep that PL a virgin. Or just breed regardless and hope for the 10% inheritance to trigger.
