Pal Traits

Palworld's Pal traits,, which encompass their suitability for specific tasks, skills, and unique perks, play a crucial role in determining the range of activities your Pals can perform for you. Whether they are stationed at your Palworld base for resource gathering or accompany you in battles, comprehending their strengths and weaknesses is essential. This understanding ensures that you select the most appropriate Pal for each specific task at hand.

This Palword traits guide will help you understand the different types of Pal traits and how to use them.

Pal Traits Explained

Each Palworld Pal (opens in a new tab) comes with individual stats and stats that belong to their species. If you select a Pal in the Paldeck, you will see a list of skills, stats, and other Pal traits. Here’s an overview of what they mean:

• Partner skill: a passive skill that belongs to the species. For example, a Cattiva (opens in a new tab)’s ‘Cat Helper’ Partner Skill increases the player’s maximum carrying capacity while in the party.
• Work Suitability: the highlighted skills determine which tasks this Pal may carry out (more on this below).
• Food consumption: determines how much the Pal eats.
• Active skills: active combat skills (attacks), determined by species. A low-level Pal only has one active skill, but a high-level Pal can have up to three active skills. New active skills are unlocked at level 5, 7, 15, 22, 30, 40, and 50.
• Passive skills: Passive traits have an impact on a Pal's work or combat capabilities, either enhancing or hindering them. Unlike active skills, passive skills are random and vary for each individual Pal. For instance, a Pal possessing the 'Runner' trait experiences increased movement speed, whereas a Pal with the 'Coward' trait inflicts reduced damage.

Pal Work Suitability

Work suitability stats are the same for each member of the same species. If you place a Pal inside your base, it will automatically start working on tasks that match with its work suitability skills. For example, a Lamball (opens in a new tab) will craft any unfinished items at your workstation for you, thanks to its 'handicraft' trait.
