With so many Pals and even more Passive traits to find, it took me a while to get the hang of them. Here are all of the Palworld Passive traits explained to help you find the best Pals.
All Passive Skills in Palworld
Passive traits determine your Pal's stats and leveling path moving forward, helping you find the best use for your Pal and get the most out of it. While some Passive Skills are strictly oriented towards maximum damage or nimble movement, others give you a balance between two stat variants, and Pals with these traits can overcome the lack of manpower (or in this case, Palpower).
All Negative Tier Passive Traits List (Tiers -1, -2, -3)
Pals with Traits -1, -2 and -3 are not even worth the hassle, and it's best to leave them be. The Passive Skill is supposed to help your Pal out, not slow it down.
