What is the best Pal in Palworld 1.0?

Frostallion Noct is the top DPS pick, with Blazamut and Jormuntide Ignis as alternatives. For utility, Bellanoir leads. Ranking considers max Awakening (Lv.10) + optimal mutations.

How did the tier list change in 1.0?

1.0 added Awakening (10 levels, +50% HP/ATK max) and 2 new mutations (Divine +50% HP, Fierce +40% ATK). With max Awakening + Mythical/Fierce mutations, even C-tier Pals can outperform older S-tier picks.

How often is the tier list updated?

We re-evaluate weekly or after major balance patches. Last updated August 9, 2026.

Does this tier list work for multiplayer?

Yes, with caveats. S+/S tier Pals are top in both single-player and multiplayer. Some Pals (e.g. Helzephyr) shine more in co-op raid scenarios.

What about work suitability?

Combat is the primary ranking factor. We added a separate "Work" consideration for Pals like Wumpo Botan, Melpaca, and Caprity. See the methodology page for full weighting.

How is the tier list calculated?

Base stats × Awakening Lv.10 multiplier × optimal mutation loadout. See our methodology page for the full formula. We test each Pal against raid bosses, dungeon content, and PvE encounters.
