Best Active Skills in Palworld

Blizzard Spike

Active skill	Effect	Pals
Blizzard Spike	CT: 45 Power: 130	Frostallion Paladius Suzaku Aqua Wumpo Mammorest Cryst

We recommend Blizzard Spike as your go-to active skill for fights. It causes AoE damage and hits multiple times on impact. This can also freeze pals or enemies, which is especially useful when exploiting the weakness of the Dragon-type pal, Jetragon.

Use Fire Ball or Hydro Laser for Enemies Not Affected by Ice

Active skill	Effect	Pals
Fire Ball	CT: 55 Power: 150	Jetragon Katress Ignis Chillet Ignis Suzaku Jormuntide Ignis
Hydro Laser	CT: 55 Power: 150	Suzaku Aqua Croajiro Jormuntide Broncherry Aqua Elphidran Aqua

For bosses or enemies that cannot be affected by any Ice-type skills, we recommend using Fire Ball or Hydro Laser. These moves are as powerful as Blizzard Spike, so be sure to have these as back up!

Beam Comet (Jetragon Exclusive)

Active skill	Effect	Pals
Beam Comet	CT: 50 Power: 140	Jetragon

Beam Comet is Jetragon's exclusive Active Skill, which fires off multiple Dragon-element missiles that accurately track enemies and deal damage on impact.

Multiple missiles can hit the same target and deal devastating damage, especially against Dark Pals.

Best Active Skills Against Bosses

Best Damage-Over-Time Skills

Active skill	Effect	Pals
Poison Blast	CT: 2 Power: 30	Lovander Shroomer Shroomer Noct Prixter Xenovader
Spirit Fire	CT: 7 Power: 45	Jetragon Sootseer Necromus Bushi Noct Suzaku
Ignis Blast	CT: 2 Power: 30	Sootseer Katress Ignis Chillet Ignis Suzaku Jormuntide Ignis
Flare Arrow	CT: 10 Power: 55	Katress Ignis Chillet Ignis Suzaku Faleris Blazehowl Noct
Fire Ball	CT: 55 Power: 150	Jetragon Katress Ignis Chillet Ignis Suzaku Jormuntide Ignis
Spirit Flame	CT: 16 Power: 75	Bellanoir Frostallion Noct Sootseer Necromus Bushi Noct

Burn and Poison are both status effects that deal a percentage of the enemy's health as damage, making them effective against bosses with high a HP pool such the Lv. 50 Legendary Pals.

Most Fire skills apply burn while Poison Blast is the only Active Skill tha can inflict poison.

Tornado-Type Active Skills

Active skill	Effect	Pals
Grass Tornado	CT: 18 Power: 80	Quivern Botan Shroomer Noct Shroomer Lullu Wumpo Botan
Sand Tornado	CT: 18 Power: 80	Menasting Terra Prixter Anubis Beakon Kikit
Flare Storm	CT: 18 Power: 80	Jetragon Katress Ignis Wixen Noct Suzaku Jormuntide Ignis
Mystic Whirlwind	CT: 10 Power: 70	Elphidran Elphidran Aqua

Tornado moves such as Grass Tornado push two elemental hurricanes at a target location and can hit multiple times, especially against larger enemies. With a large enough target, being hit in the right spot, these skills can deal massive damage for how relatively short their cooldowns are.

Best Active Skills Against Regular Enemies

Best AoE Active Skills

Active skill	Effect	Pals
Seed Mine	CT: 13 Power: 65	Broncherry Broncherry Aqua Wumpo Botan Shroomer Shroomer Noct
Blizzard Spike	CT: 45 Power: 130	Frostallion Paladius Suzaku Aqua Wumpo Mammorest Cryst
Ignis Rage	CT: 40 Power: 120	Faleris Blazamut Felbat Reptyro Blazehowl Noct
Lightning Strike	CT: 40 Power: 120	Mossanda Lux Dinossom Lux Relaxaurus Lux Grizzbolt Orserk

These skills are the best when dealing Area of Effect, or AoE, damage! We recommend equipping these skills for going into Hunting Areas or enemy camps!

Best Low-Cooldown Skills

Active skill	Effect	Pals
Wind Cutter	CT: 2 Power: 30	Quivern Botan Lullu Warsect Wumpo Botan Wumpo
Air Cannon	CT: 2 Power: 25	Frostallion Noct Frostallion Dogen Shadowbeak Suzaku

Dragon Cannon	CT: 2 Power: 30	Xenogard Quivern Botan Jormuntide Ignis Jormuntide Relaxaurus Lux

These Active Skills are effective for farming weaker Pals or adjusting a Boss' HP to capture it.

Stone Blast and Ice Cutter are Good Against Bosses

Stone Blast fires multiple projectiles that spread out, which can deal a lot of damage to larger enemies such as bosses. On the other hand, Icicle Cutter deals a good chunk of damage, freezes enemies, and can be effective against bosses.

Palworld Tier List Criteria

Criteria Explanation

Tier	Criteria
	SS Tier Active Skills include the most powerful skills in the game, and are usually found in the later parts of the game.
	S Tier Active Skills are solid additions to your Pal's active skill list, and will help you transition to end game.
	A Tier Active Skills are great upgrades over B Tier's active skills.
	B Tier Active Skills help you progress early, but will usually fall off as more powerful come up.

SS and S Tier skills are great your pal's most powerful moves. Pals usually open in combat with these moves.

A Tier skills are your 'mid' level skills, to fill in the downtime when your big skills are on cooldown.

B Tier skills serve as filler skills - skills to be used when your big and mid-level skills are on cooldown.
