Short answer

The source footage reaches the huge stat panel by stacking multiple layers: fire and attack support Pals, Orserk stack maintenance, Knocklem Ignis Iron Guardian Mode, element-matched accessories, Core Badges, consumable buffs, enhancement-gun stat upgrades, and either burst or tank passives.

Practical advice for new and returning players

  • Treat the 21,465 attack and 15,022 defense panel as source-footage evidence, not a guaranteed current-patch result until you reproduce it in your own build.
  • Build the formula layer by layer. Missing one support Pal, food buff, accessory, or passive can make the final panel look completely different.
  • Use the same method on another favorite Pal only after you swap the element support Pals and accessories to match that Pal's damage type.

Build overview: why the panel gets so high

The opening panel is the result of stacked buffs, not a normal unbuffed Pal stat screen. The footage shows Knocklem Ignis at 21,465 attack and 15,022 defense after combining party support, partner-skill effects, accessories, consumables, and passives.

For an English-speaking viewer, the important lesson is the formula. If you copy only the Pal species without copying the buff layers, the result will not match the source-footage panel.

LayerWhat the footage usesWhy it matters
Base PalKnocklem IgnisProvides the combat body and Iron Guardian Mode boost
Support PalsRooby, Finsider Ignis, Celesdir Noct, and OrserkAdds fire damage, weakness damage, raw attack, and stack-based multipliers
AccessoriesCharms, Batons, Marshal Badge, and Fortress BadgeAdds player and Pal attack/defense bonuses
ConsumablesMammorest Curry, Potato Chawanmushi, and High-Grade Enhancement GunAdds temporary attack, defense, and core-stat boosts
PassivesBurst or tank routeDetermines whether the finished build favors damage or survival

1. Start with support Pals, not the main Pal

The video first explains the support stack because that is where much of the final panel comes from. Rooby supports fire damage, Finsider Ignis supports fire weakness damage, and Celesdir Noct adds a large raw-attack layer while draining HP over time.

This means the build is element-sensitive. If you move the formula to a different element, replace the fire support pieces with matching support Pals instead of copying the list blindly.

  • Use Rooby when the demonstrated fire-damage setup is the goal.
  • Use Finsider Ignis for the fire weakness-damage layer shown in the footage.
  • Use Celesdir Noct for raw attack, but account for the HP drain.
  • Do not judge Knocklem Ignis alone before the support stack is active.

2. Maintain the Orserk multiplier

The footage then adds Orserk as the major stack-based multiplier. It describes the stack as building through bullet hits and shows the full stack reaching 30.

The source narration also says the translated description is misleading and that additional hit sources can help maintain the stack. Treat that interaction as patch-sensitive: verify it before building a permanent team around it.

  • Use Orserk as the multiplier layer after the basic support Pals are set.
  • Confirm that your current build can maintain stacks before testing final damage.
  • If the stack falls off, the stat panel and real combat output will drop sharply.

3. Add Knocklem Ignis Iron Guardian Mode

After the support stack, activate Knocklem Ignis' partner skill, Iron Guardian Mode. In the footage, this adds a major attack and defense boost on top of the already stacked support effects.

This is why the order matters: the Pal's own partner skill is one layer in a larger formula, not the entire build by itself.

4. Match accessories to the element and role

The accessory layer uses Charms, Batons, and two Core Badges. The video keeps Marshal Badge for player and Pal attack and Fortress Badge for player and Pal defense.

For the flexible slots, change the Charm and Baton based on the element you are actually using. The demonstrated setup is fire-focused, so a different element should not keep fire-specific assumptions.

5. Add consumables and enhancement-gun upgrades

The footage lists Mammorest Curry for attack, Potato Chawanmushi for defense, and the High-Grade Enhancement Gun for core-stat increases. These buffs explain why a normal stat screen may look much lower without preparation.

Record whether your test uses food, enhancement-gun upgrades, world settings, and the same party support. Otherwise two players can compare panels that were built under different conditions.

6. Choose the passive route

The video ends by separating a burst route from a tank route. The burst setup is for Raid Bosses or most hard field bosses, while the tank route is for situations where surviving longer matters more than the highest possible burst.

RoutePassive set from the videoBest use
BurstSerenity, Eternal Flame, Demon God, and Diamond BodyRaid bosses and most hard field bosses when damage matters most
TankImmortal, Remarkable Physique, Demon God, and SerenityOne-on-one extreme boss attempts or fights where survival is the bottleneck

7. What to verify before copying the build

Before you spend rare resources, reproduce the stack in a controlled test: same Pal, same passives, same support team, same food, same accessories, same enhancement state, and same game build.

If you use this on another favorite Pal, keep the structure but replace the element-specific pieces. The formula is more useful than a single exact roster.

  • Check the game build shown by your client before testing.
  • Test the stat panel before and after every support layer.
  • Confirm Orserk stacks are actually staying active.
  • Document food buffs and accessory swaps.
  • Retest after hotfixes that mention Pals, partner skills, accessories, food, or combat balance.

FAQ

Is 21,465 attack and 15,022 defense guaranteed?

No. Those numbers are shown in authorized source footage. They depend on a full buff stack and should be independently reproduced on your current build before being treated as guaranteed.

Which Pal is used for the max-stat showcase?

The video uses Knocklem Ignis as the main Pal and stacks support effects around it.

Why does the build use Rooby and Finsider Ignis?

The demonstrated setup is fire-focused. Rooby and Finsider Ignis support the fire-damage and fire-weakness-damage layers used by the source footage.

What does Orserk do in this build?

The footage uses Orserk as a stack-based multiplier layer. The exact stack-maintenance behavior is patch-sensitive and should be verified on the current release.

Which passive route should I choose?

Use the burst route when damage is the goal: Serenity, Eternal Flame, Demon God, and Diamond Body. Use the tank route when survival is the bottleneck: Immortal, Remarkable Physique, Demon God, and Serenity.

Is the video public on YouTube?
