As you find Pals Palworldyou’ll find that they may have passive skillswhich buffs or debuffs them depending on the skill. Palworld Experts will want to use these skills to the best of their ability, so knowing what to look for is important.
Below we explain how passive skills work Palworld and list all the passive skills we know.
How do passive skills work in Palworld?
Each friend you catch will have random passive abilities that can reduce incoming damage, boost stats, or do the exact opposite. Ideally, you want to use friends who have positive passive skills and avoid friends with negative skills.
Friends you breed may also pass on their skills, so you can combine Friends’ powerful skills to create a super baby friend.
The only exception to the above is that lucky friends (those giant, sparkly friends you might encounter) will always have the “lucky” passive ability, and caught legendary friends will always have the “legend” passive ability.
