Best stats in Palworld, ranked

Of the five stats, the best stats to upgrade in Palworld are HP, Stamina, and Weight. We would rank them as follows:

  1. HP: Health is an important stat for obvious reasons, and having more health gives you a better chance of surviving battles and navigating harsh environments, so it should be your first point of call.
  2. Stamina: This will allow you to run, climb, and swim for longer distances without getting tired. Your player will also be able to perform actions like mining with their pickaxe for longer periods, making your farming runs more efficient.
  3. Weight: This allows you to carry more items in your inventory—which is especially important when gathering items like Ore.

These stats provide noticeable differences when you improve them, whereas the changes from boosting Attack and Work Speed are negligible. Attack is better boosted through powerful weapons and Work Speed, depending on your goals, really doesn’t alter much of the core game, as you’ll soon have Pals to help you.

Boosting your stats with items in Palworld

Some items in Palworld boost your stats, with Armor increasing your HP and Defense. You can also get boosts in Work Speed from items. That said, it doesn’t make a noticeable difference, and the same can be said for the Attack stat because it’s better to just craft stronger weapons.

Unfortunately, if you misclick or came to this guide too late, the only way to respec your stats in Palworld unlocks very late in the game, so you should be careful when spending your hard-earned points from leveling up.


So, there you have it. You know everything you need about the best stats to level up in Palworld. Enjoy!
