FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the best Dark team in Palworld v1.0.0?

Pair the highest-attack Dark pals with support that amplifies Dark damage, exploits Dark weakness, and shields you from incoming Dark hits. Helzephyr anchors the lineup and the party partner effects apply from anywhere in your five slots.

Do Dark element buffs stack?

The Dark damage-amplify flag is binary, so one carrier is enough. Defense and weakness-exploit effects scale with condensation rank, so bring a rank-5 copy for the full value. Different effect types always stack with each other.
