Mau

Dark

Paldeck description

Its hard tail does not deteriorate even when cut off. Some believed these severed tails bring good luck, but for the innumerable Mau who were poached as a result, they were anything but.

Capture locations

Where to find Mau

Wild and Alpha markers show where this Pal appears, with its level range, group size, and active time for each spawn pattern.

No wild or Alpha location available

This entry may be obtained through breeding, dungeons, raids, events, or collaboration content. The map stays empty until a real capture location is available.

How to get Mau

No wild or Alpha position for this entry is present in the current map snapshot. That is a data boundary, not proof that the Pal is unobtainable: check its breeding graph and the game's other acquisition systems before drawing that conclusion.

Data-backed field notes

Is Mau worth using? Strengths, trade-offs, and breeding value

Mau is a Dark entry with 70 base HP, 60 ranged attack, and 70 defense. Read together, those values make Defense its clearest statistical feature, currently in the lower quartile of the verified roster. The analysis below combines the raw profile with 2 work roles, 0 mapped encounter points, and 31 mixed-species parent combinations. It is a practical interpretation of the current data rather than an official tier, a promise about one individual Pal, or text copied from the Paldeck.

Combat profile and real trade-offs

Mau does not show a single extreme across the three headline values: 70 HP, 60 ranged attack, and 70 defense stay close enough that the profile should be judged by role and skill access instead of one oversized number. Its best relative value is Defense at 70. A balanced baseline can be easier to build around because it avoids an obvious statistical hole, but it also means the Pal may need a strong partner skill, favorable element, useful active-skill set, or carefully inherited passives to outperform a specialist in the same job.

The Dark typing tells you which elemental identity to investigate, but this page deliberately does not infer a final matchup chart or damage rotation from typing alone. Mau also has 100 configured stamina and 100 support, two useful context values that should not be mistaken for direct DPS. Before spending rare souls or a long passive-breeding chain, compare the active skills and partner-skill effect in your current game version, then use these extracted base numbers as the stable foundation for that decision.

Best base role and staffing plan

At a base, Mau can perform Farming Lv. 1 and Gathering Lv. 1. Its highest listed assignment is Farming at level 1, across 2 total job types. That makes the top role the first place to test it, while the lower-level roles may be useful backup or may cause unwanted task switching depending on your base layout. A food need of 1 and configured transport speed of 317 add operating context, but neither number proves hourly output by itself. Put the Pal near the station you actually want staffed, watch for pathing and breaks, and compare completed work over a real production cycle before replacing a focused worker.

Acquisition plan: capture first or breed first?

The current map snapshot has no wild or Alpha point for Mau. That is an evidence boundary, not a claim that the Pal is impossible to obtain. The breeding graph currently exposes 31 mixed-species route(s), which may be the most transparent route on this site, but the live game can also use dungeons, raids, eggs, merchants, events, collaboration systems, or prerequisite captures that are outside a simple spawn marker. Check the breeding guide and current official patch notes before building a plan, and do not turn an empty map into a fabricated location.

Breeding flexibility and lineage planning

Mau has 31 mixed-species combinations using 23 distinct parent species in the audited graph. A practical first pair to inspect is Lamball + Lifmunk; it is surfaced by a low combined Paldeck-number heuristic, not by a claim that those parents have the easiest spawns or best passives. The species breeding-power value is 3040, which helps resolve formula results but is not a combat score. Its configured sex split is 50% male and 50% female (close to balanced), so repeat hatches may be needed before a same-species line has the genders you want. Choose the direct pair already closest to your Palbox and passive goal, then move to same-species breeding once the target line is established.

Practical verdict for Mau

The best reason to invest in Mau is a plan that actually uses its strongest measured feature—Defense at 70—or its leading base role, Farming Lv. 1. The page records 0 mapped encounter points and 31 mixed breeding routes, so acquisition flexibility should be weighed alongside combat and work value. A Pal with excellent numbers can still be the wrong project when its role duplicates a finished team member; a modest profile can be worthwhile when it fills a missing element, job, passive pipeline, or Paldeck objective. Decide on one purpose first, then evaluate the individual hatch or capture against that purpose.

  • Compare Mau's base values with the role you need; do not treat one number as a complete tier placement.
  • For base use, test Mau at the intended station and watch pathing, food, breaks, and unwanted task switching.
  • For acquisition, compare the mapped level and time rules with the number of breeding steps and Cakes your save would require.
  • For a long-term line, secure the target species first, then optimize gender, passives, talents, active skills, and Mutation separately.

Method note: quartile labels use all 299 profiles in the site dataset verified on August 5, 2026. They compare unmodified species values only. The interpretation is written from those values, mapped spawn evidence, work rows, and the current breeding graph; it does not claim hidden play-test results or replace current patch notes.
