Palworld Passive Skill Chain Planner Tools

Not every passive is worth a breeding slot. These are the four-passive stacks worth chasing for combat Pals, mounts and base workers in Palworld 1.0.

Key takeaways
  • Combat stack
  • Mount stack
  • Worker stack
  • Passives to strip

Combat stack

Legend (+20% attack and defence, legendary-only), Musclehead (+30% attack, −50% work speed), Ferocious (+20% attack) and Burly Body (+20% defence) form the standard damage stack for raid Pals.

Mount stack

Swift (+30% movement), Runner (+20% movement), Nimble (+10% movement) and Legend stack multiplicatively on flying mounts — the difference between a 1,200 and a 1,900 effective flight speed.

Worker stack

Best passive traits for base utility Pals Palworld players should prioritise are Artisan (+50% work speed), Serious (+20% work speed), Lucky (+15% attack and work speed) and Workaholic (slower SAN drain) to keep base Pals productive without constant Hot Spring rotations.

Passives to strip

Brittle, Clumsy, Pacifist, Coward and Slacker are negative passives — reroll them out before you commit to a line, because they occupy one of the four permanent slots.
