Palworld Gameplay : 10 Best Combat Partner Skills (& The Pals That Have Them)

The most important combat element in Palworld is partner skills. Each partner in the game has their own unique skill set that takes effect when they are in the player's party. Skills that allow players to ride partner mounts, skills that make carrying items easier, and of course various partner skills that make fighting easier.

A good match can make the effect outstanding, make the combat level jump up, let's take a look at all the partner skills in this game, and select some of the best partners with the best skills to absolutely dominate any opponent.

Name：Daedream
Partner Skill：Dream Chaser
Explanation：Daedream stays summoned when in party & follows up your attacks with attacks of their own

Starting things out is Daedream, a Pal that players can get pretty early on depending on where they choose to spawn first in Palworld. These little galaxy-haired creatures have one of the more unique abilities in the game called Dream Chaser. Essentially, while in the player's party, a Daedream will stay summoned regardless of whether the player summons another Pal or not and will routinely follow up on the player's attacks with attacks of their own.

By itself, that would already be a pretty great combat ability. However, whether this is due to an oversight or a bug, players can actually stack this Partner Skill with multiple Daedreams, and this can absolutely trivialize fights that are meant to be a whole lot more difficult.

Name：Gorirat
Partner Skill: Full-Power Gorilla Mode
Explanation: It self-inflicts a massive attack buff for itself, propelling its attack to some pretty absurd levels.

Next up is Gorirat, an adorable (yet very angry) gorilla-inspired pal that has a self-buffing partner skill. The skill is called 'Full-Power Gorilla Mode' and it basically just means that Gorirat buffs its own attack stat by a pretty substantial amount for a short duration.

While it's not that long of a skill, it's long enough to last most, if not all, of a battle, and when combined with some attack-boosting food recipes, this can almost double the Gorirat's attack stat entirely.

Name：Depresso
Partner Skill: Caffeine Inoculation
Explanation: While in effect, Depresso has much higher movement speed (and, by extension, attack speed).

Out of all the palettes that Palworld has to offer, Depresso is absolutely becoming one of the more iconic ones. It's sort of becoming the'mascot' of Palworld due to how cute it is in contrast to the dark themes both its name and general behavior seem to suggest.

As a fighter, Depresso might not seem like anything special, but its Caffeine Inoculation Partner Skill is actually quite amazing. When used, Depresso essentially becomes the Flash and starts moving at supersonic speeds, and while this makes approaching enemies easier, it's primarily useful because of how much more often Depresso attacks while it's active. If a player spends the time to breed a depresso that has either move speed or attack damage passive skills too, this thing can melt groups of enemies in just a few short moments.

Name：Galeclaw
Partner Skill：Galeclaw Rider
Explanation：Replaces the player's glider with a Galeclaw that propels them horizontally at a much faster speed.This next inclusion may confuse some readers, as Galeclaw's Partner Skill doesn't seem to be based on combat at all. However, a lot of enemy attacks in Palworld are pretty difficult to avoid or will make contact even if the player feels like they avoided it perfectly. This is where Galeclaw's Partner Skill comes in, as jumping and using Galeclaw as a Glider to avoid incoming attacks is almost always more successful than spamming the dodge roll button. On top of that, summoning Galeclaw as the Glider also pulls it back to the player in an instant from wherever it was, which can also be a huge help in combat.

Name：Mossanda
Partner Skill：Grenadier Panda
Explanation：While riding Mossanda (or Mossanda Lux) you can aim and fire this Grenade Launcher, with each shot using up a bit of the Partner Skill meter.

Personally, this is our top pick for a combat-related Partner Skill, the Grenadier Panda skill for both Mossanda and Mossanda Lux. This Skill, when the proper Pal Gear is built, not only allows players to ride on these Pals as a land mount but also gives them access to two grenade launchers as well.

These Grenade Launchers aren't all that 'powerful' damage-wise until players start using the Essence Condenser to level the ability up. But, even at the base level, the sheer crowd control these grenade launchers give players is absurd as they knock enemies down with every hit, forcing them to get up off the ground before they can even start their next attack animation.

Name：Lifmunk
Partner Skill：Lifmunk Recoil
Explanation：When activated, Lifmunk gets on top of the player's head and follows up their attacks with shots of their own from its miniature machine gun.

Players reading this who have reached levels 25+ in Palworld might be surprised to see that an early-game Pal like Lifmunk is on here. But, as far as combat-oriented Partner Skills go, Lifmunk's really is just one of the better options. It's similar to Daedreams in that it is a Skill that has the Pal following up after the player with additional attacks, but Lifmunk's machine gun is stronger and it also requires Lifmunk to be the Pal that's currently summoned.

Still, when a proper Lifmunk is bred with the right Passive Skills, it can almost shred Dungeon Bosses entirely on its own without the payer really having to do much at all.

Name：Lyleen
Partner Skill：Harvest Goddess
Explanation：Lyleen heals the player for about 1000 HP after a brief animation.

Healing in Palworld isn't just difficult, it's almost nonexistent, especially during combat. As of v0.1.4.0 there are no Potions for players to use or any real innate ways for them to heal up mid-combat outside of just a few Pal Partner Skills.

One of these Skills belongs to Teafant, but it only heals a small amount until it's leveled up using the Essence Condenser and even then it pales in comparison to the pure healing power that Lyleen and Lyleen Cryst have. This Pal is both strong as a fighter and strong as a healer, making it the perfect Pal to keep in the party at all times.

Name：Lovander
Partner Skill：Heart Drain
Explanation：Passively gives both Lovander and the tamer a bit of Life Steal when they deal damage.Having Lovander on your team is a tough sell, as this Pal is going to get you some weird looks from anyone else on the server if you're playing online. The design of Lovander is, a bit much, to say the least.

However, it really is useful as a combat-oriented Pal, as the Heart Drain Partner Skill it has is another way for players to actually stay alive mid-combat against a difficult opponent. Not only that, but it also makes it easier for a Lovander to last longer in combat as well.

Name：Grizzbolt
Partner Skill：Yellow Tank
Explanation：When riding Grizzbolt, players can aim and fire a minigun that Grizzbolt is capable of using, with the shots steadily draining the Partner Skill meter.

Once players actually manage to find a Grizzbolt (not including the boss variant), which can be tough since it's really only found in one area, they'll obviously want to use this adorable electrified Totoro-esque creature on their team. That said, they're going to have to wait quite a while to actually use its Partner Skill, as the Minigun for Grizzbolt isn't unlocked in the Technology Tree until they reach about level 40.

However, once they make it there, there aren't many other Partner Skills that are as helpful in a fight. The Minigun absolutely shreds enemies when used, and it also makes it so that Grizzbolt is ridable as a land mount as well.

Name：Swee
Partner Skill：Fluffy
Explanation：While in a team with Sweepa, Sweepa's attack will be buffed

Name：Sweepa
Partner Skill：King of Fluff
Explanation：For everyone Swee that's also in the team, Sweepa's attack will be buffed.

And for the final inclusion, here's another Pal (to be exact, Pals) that players probably didn't expect, Swee and Sweepa. These adorable little fluffballs are not only well-liked by the fanbase for their amazing designs, but their Partner Skills are also pretty great. Essentially, for every Swee in the player's team, up to 4 total, the Sweepa in their team will get about a 12 percent attack increase.

And, like it sounds, this is a pretty gigantic attack buff, as it should be given that players basically have to orient their entire party composition around this one Partner Skill. It's absolutely a pretty niche Partner Skill to take advantage of, but players that do will find that their little fluffy mustached Pal will absolutely melt any opponent they need it to.
