Best Passive Skills in Palworld
If you are looking to maximize the potential of your Pals, here is a list of the best Passive Skills in Palworld:
Best Passive Skills for Combat Pals
For Pals that are focused on combat rather than work, try and find one that has the following Passive Skills:
- Legend
- Musclehead
- Demon God

This set of Passive Skills should allow your pals to have a good balance of offensive and defensive buffs. It allows you to stack Attack stats up top 100%.
Best Passive Skills For Work Pals
Consider having Pals with the following Passive Skills work on your base:
- Remarkable Craftsmanship
- Artisan
- Serious
- Work Slave
This set should allow you to have the most work-efficient pals in your base. However, it may be tricky to have all of these Passive Skills in one Pal. You can also have other abilities like Mastery of Fasting so they get hungry less, Heart of the Immovable King to keep them motivated, and Vampiric so they don’t need to sleep
Best Passive Skills for Mount Pals
For the most efficient Mount Pals for transporation, you need the following Passive Skills:
- Swift
- Runner
