Every Player Stat in Palworld Explained

Let's break down what every stat does in Palworld and which are most important to upgrade

  • HP - Player Vitality - You will collapse if your fatigue meter reaches 0
  • Stamina - Running, Jumping, Climbing - When you run out of stamina, you won't be able to move as quickly, run, or jump
  • Attack - Player Attack - This is the amount of damage you deal to enemies, including melee, ranged, and damaging objects
  • Defense - Player Defense - Add armor and Partner Skills to decrease the amount of damage you take from incoming attacks
  • Work Speed - Work Efficiency - Increase this stat to reduce the amount of time it takes to complete tasks around your base
  • Weight - Max Carrying Capacity - Your movement will become slow if you're over the limit so increase this if you like to carry more around with you

HP

It's never a bad idea to increase your player vitality. The bigger your health pool, the easier it is to survive. This is especially useful against more powerful enemies and bosses so start boosting this from the start. 

Stamina

As an open-world game, your stamina can make or break your experience in Palworld. If you cannot run, climb, jump, swim, and fly for long periods, you will feel like it takes quite a bit of time to get to your desired destination. With so many tasks requiring stamina, you should level this up.

Weight

In a survival game, you'll often find yourself carrying a lot of resources around with you during your exploration. With very few Pals by your side early on, you would benefit from increasing the amount of weight you can carry so you can continue exploring without getting slowed down.
