When you find Palsa in Palworldyou will notice that they may have passive skillsthat strengthen or weaken them, depending on the skill. Palworld experts will want to get the most out of these skills, so it’s vital to know what to look for.
Below we explain how passive skills work Palworld and list all the passive skills we know about.
How do passive skills work in Palworld?
Each Buddy you catch will have random passive skills that can reduce the damage they take, raise their stats, or do the exact opposite. Ideally, you want to employ Pals who have positive passive skills and avoid those with negative skills.
The buddies you breed will potentially pass on their skills, so you can combine your friends’ powerful skills to create a super little buddy.
The only exception to the above is that lucky Buddies (those giant shiny ones you may see nearby) will always have a “lucky” passive, and captured legendary Buddies will always have a “legend” passive.
