Why does my friend partner use Illgrants and Foie no matter what tech I set it to?

[GuardianGirth]

Not a huge concern but I was curious if maybe they changed this over time to have some default set to each friend partner or something. This never happened on my older account where I could set them to use only illfoie or x move. I also see my friends still able to set their char just fine.

I also thought maybe it was them needing to be used x amount of times before they "followed orders" but its been months now and nothing.

Anyone else ran into this?

This seems to be an issue with 2-button and 3-button mouse layout.
Basically you need to "delete" your 2-button weapon pallets. Go to options, select 2-button mouse layout, then delete everything from there. Then revert to 3-button layout, fix everything that may seem off, and then re-register your Friend Partner. This should fix it.

It's possible that when Episode 6 hit the servers, some old deleted settings were "reverted". I know because I somehow had old friend requests reappear again when EP6 hit, but I had deleted those requests months ago.

I never used 3 button mode so I would've never have figured that out. Thanks big time.

Friend partner uses mpal1 (main palette) and spal1 (sub palette) for auto action. by using 3-button action means you have 6 slot on mpal1. partner stat are determined only by rarity of equipment, ignoring affixes completely.

for reference i set my Te/Ra (allure rifle) friend partner by this pattern
main palette:
Shifta, Normal Rifle attack, Zanverse | Megiverse, Deband, Zondeel
sub pallete
Weak Bullet, Gravity Bomb, Stun Bomb, Resta, Anti | Moon Atomizer, Sol Atomizer, Star Atomizer, Nagrants, Rabarta

personality stat is same like Annete's partner card
Nature: Intellectual
Trait: Braves Adversity
Inclination: Guardian

this one is best fit for my use. it cast zanverse, uses weak bullet, cast shifta/deband properly.

other personality stat even cause the partner not even loading Weak Bullet which is annoying, or not using -verse tech at all, or casting Shifta/Deband only when the quest is completed (yea wtf)
