Notes[edit]

  • Soulbeast beast skills are different skills to their pet beast variants, and thus do not share cooldowns. So you can use one, then un/merge and use the other straight away.
  • Having two of the same petarchetype will mean using their Soulbeast beast skill will put both on cooldown, but having two separate archetypes will not.
