Throughout the Palpagos Islands, players will encounter many weird and wonderful Pals, but not all of them are suited to combat. While some Pals specialize in wreaking destruction and havoc upon one another, others aren’t so well suited to the task. Fortunately, there is a lot more toPalworldthan just combat, and many of these Pals can be put to good use in other areas of the game.
In addition to their base element type, Pals also have a range of Active Skills, which can be improved as they level. They also have Partner Skills, which sometimes require playersto craft specialist Pal Gearto unlock. Each Pal also has a range of different Work Suitabilities, which will give them a starting edge when assigned to certain tasks. These Pals are much better utilized at the base, rather than in battle.
8Lamball
Better Suited For Ranch Work
Lamballis a relatively passive Pal with little to offer in terms of combat. This Pal does have some other uses, though, such as producing Wool when assigned to a Ranch. This valuable resource can then be used to craft items such as Cloth, which is used inmany armor types.
In addition to producing Wool, Lamball can also be assigned to other work duties, including Farming, Transporting and Handiwork. As a combatant, Lamball is relatively weak, even when upgraded with higher level Active skills.
7Mozzarina
Stick To Making Milk
Mozzarinais another relatively docile Pal with little combat utility. The creature can be used to farm Milk and Mozzarina Meat, which can be consumed and used in a variety of other recipes. When assigned to a ranch, the “Milk Maker” Partner Skill will cause Mozzarina to occasionally produce Milk.
As a base worker, Mozzarina is only reallysuited to Farming, and won’t be as efficient as other Pals even at this task. In combat, Mozzarina has a combination of relatively basic Ground and Neutral element attacks, which aren’t very useful.
6Vixy
Little To Offer In Terms Of Offense
Vixyis a relatively ineffective Pal with one of the weaker Partner Skills in the game. When assigned to a Ranch, Vixy will dig for random items and occasionally retrieve them. While it can occasionally yield some rarities, generally it is not worth the hassle, and players can find better items on their own.
Vixy has a combination of weak Grass and Neutral Active Skills, along with the Sand Blast Ground attack at Level 7. In general, it is not a great strategy to bring this Pal into combat, since there are far better available options withsuperior Partner Skills.
5Mau
Leave It At The Base To Dig Up Gold
Much like Vixy,Mauis a specialized Pal which acts more as a novelty than a utility around a player’s base. The “Gold Digger” Partner Skill means that Mau will occasionally dig up gold coins when assigned to a Ranch at the player’s base.
In combat, Mau has several basic Dark element skills, but nothing that makes it stand out as superior from any other Pal of the same type. While Mau can be a nice addition to bases, it is generally not very useful when fighting against other Pals.
4Hangyu
Offers Many Uses, Just Not In Battle
Hangyumight not be the best Pal to bring into combat, but there are a range of other uses for thisoddly-designed creature. The “Flying Trapeze” Partner Skill enables players to use Hangyu as a glider, but they will need to craft the Hangy’s Gloves Pal Gear to unlock this ability.
In addition to being a decent glider, Hangyu can also be helpful around a base. It has work suitability in Handiwork and Gathering, as well as Level 2 Transporting, which is arguably its greatest use. Aside from this, Hangyu offers little that cannot be found elsewhere.
3Fuddler
Decent For The Early Game, But There Are Better Options
Fuddleris certainly not the worst Pal around, and can make for a decent early-game Ground type. However, it is relatively limited in combat, with a handful of basic Active Skills. Fuddler’s “Ore Detector” Partner Skill indicates that it is best used to seek out ore and mine it.
In addition to Mining, Fuddler is also suited to Handiwork and Transporting. Generally, this Pal type can make for a decent base worker, but with quite a limit on work suitability. As for combat, there are many better options available throughout the game.
2Depresso
Better As A Speedy Base Worker
Depressois one of the less enthusiastic Pals players can acquire on their travels, and unfortunately, has little utility in combat or as a base worker. The Dark Lazer and Shadow Burst Active Skills are quite genericfor the element type, and Depresso’s Partner Skill simply increases its own movement speed.
While Depresso is not especially useful in combat, he can be put to better use as a worker, since this is where the movement speed is likely to be more useful. This Pal is suited to Handiwork, Mining and Transporting, but all will start, begrudgingly, at Level 1.
1Woolipop
Here For The Aesthetic
Woolipopis one of theleast aggressive PalsinPalworldand is definitely not suited to frontline combat. None of this creature’s Active Skills stand out as particularly effective, and its Partner Skill is to produce cotton candy when assigned to a ranch. As such, it has very little combat utility.
Resembling a cross between a poodle, a sheep and a ball of cotton candy, Woolipop is more of an aesthetic Pal, but can also be used for Farming if necessary. If defeated, Woolipop may drop either Cotton Candy or High Quality Pal Oil.
