The Fire-type Pal known as Dupin can be a significant asset in Palworld, particularly for players looking to bolster their base's efficiency or gain a combat advantage. Dupin's primary utility lies in its potent Kindling capabilities, alongside its unique Partner Skill that can offer a critical survival boost.
Dupin can be found across the Palapagos Islands, including the World Tree region. While they appear day and night, they are more commonly sighted on isolated islands such as Bicornis Islet, Sandstone Gate Islet, and Scouring Gate Islet. Players may also find success searching near Alluvion Lakefront in the southeastern part of the World Tree.
For those preferring to breed Dupin rather than hunt for them, several combinations can yield this Pal. Notable pairings include Anubis with Shadowbeak, Jormuntide with Faleris, and Aqua Relaxaurus Lux with Knocklem. Other successful combinations involve Blazamut and Warsect Terra, Lyleen and Tetroise, or Tetroise and Dualith Noct.
Dupin's elemental typing is Fire, making it vulnerable to Water-type attacks. When defeated, Dupin can drop various items, though specific drops are not detailed. The Pal's true strength, however, lies in its Partner Skill and Work Suitability.
The Partner Skill, "Trick-Loving Fluffle," provides a substantial benefit in combat. When the player's health drops below 50 percent, Dupin triggers an explosion around the player and grants an attack boost of 30 percent, offering a crucial advantage in difficult encounters.
In terms of Work Suitability, Dupin excels in several areas, making it a versatile addition to any base. It possesses Kindling at Level 7, which is among the highest available for this task, making it ideal for tasks requiring significant heat, such as operating furnaces. Additionally, Dupin is proficient in Handiwork at Level 5, Medicine Production at Level 4, and Transporting at Level 2.
Beyond its base and combat applications, Dupin, as a Fire-type Pal, can also provide warmth in colder environments, offering a passive benefit when accompanying the player in frigid biomes.
