Use Pals with High Defense to Tank Hits

Pals with high Defense stats are able to soak up more damage from enemies compared to those with low Defense, making them suitable tanks to include in your team.

If you are getting attacked by multiple targets, bring out a defensive Pal and let it take the attacks so you can focus on hitting back!

How to Improve Pal Defense Stat

Raise Pal Level

Raising your Pals and leveling them up is the easiest way to increase your Pal's Defense stat. Your Pal will get more Defense as they level up, allowing them to take less damage during combat.

How to Level Up Fast

Breed for Defense Improving Passive Skills

Passive Skill	Positive Effect	Negative Effect	Tier
Burly Body	Defense +20%		Tier +3
Hard Skin	Defense +10%		Tier +1
Legend	Attack +20%, Defense +20%, and Movement Speed +15%		Tier +3
Masochist	Defense +15%	Attack -15%	Tier +1

Passive Skills in Palworld can be passed on from parent Pals to their offspring. The Passive Skills listed above can give your Pals Defense stat boosts, making them the best passives for tanky, defensive Pals.

How to Chain Breed Passive Skills

Enhance Pal Stats with Statue of Power

The Statue of Power structure lets you use Pal Souls to raise your Pals' stats, including their Defense stat. This is available early in the game, so you'll be able to enhance stats even if you just started, as long as you have enough Pal Souls.

Rank Up Pals with Pal Essence Condenser

The Pal Essence Condenser lets you sacrifice duplicate Pals to improve one Pal. You can use Pals you've caught that have hindering or unwanted Passive Skills to improve a Pal that has good passives.

Doing so will grant the affected Pal a small stat bonus, including its Defense stat.

Pal Essence Condenser: How to Rank Up Pals

Avoid Pals from Getting Hungry

Pals with the Hungry status will have 20% decreased Defense which can decrease up to 50% if their Hunger meter is fully depleted with the Starving status. Make sure to keep your Pals well fed to avoid this penalty!
