What are Passive Skills in Palworld

In Palworld, Passive Skills are traits that affect how your Pals work, move, and fight. Some of them can also benefit you passively when you have them on your team, so understanding what they do and the best Passive Skills is key to mastering the game.

Passive Skills are randomized, and are only available to be seen once you capture a Pal or hatch it from anEgg. Until then, you’ll never know what their passives are, so keep looking until you find the most suitable ones.

Passive Skills affect how your Pals move, work, and fight.

All Passive Skill effects stack with each other, and Pals can have up to four Passive Skills. Passive Skills can be Positive (boost stats) or Negative (diminish stats), and also come in Tiers from 1 to 3. Those that belong to the negative zone are also called Flaws.

There are four main categories of Passive Skills: Gathering, Combat, Movement, and Crafting. Here’s a detailed list of the best for each category of Pal Passive Skills.

Best combat Passive Skills in Palworld

These are the best combat Passive Skills in Palworld, which are considered top tier (3 & 2) and grant the best boosts for facing combat-related challenges:

It is also worth mentioning that Tier 3 Pal Element Passives (*) come in nine forms, all of which grant +20% boost to the corresponding element. Those skills, like the Emperor of Ice that boosts Ice-type moves by 20%, can be granted to a Pal of the Fire-type element, which will render it entirely useless.
