Palworld 1.0 Type Effectiveness Guide : Every Element Weakness & Counter
Fire beats Grass. Water beats Fire. Here is the complete type chart, which Pals counter each element, and how to never bring the wrong type to a boss fight.
- •Fire > Grass > Ground > Electric > Water > Fire. Dragon beats Dark. Ice beats Dragon.
- •Always bring a Pal that counters the boss's type. Counter damage is doubled.
- •Neutral damage is better than resisted damage. If you have nothing that counters, bring your strongest neutral Pal.
Bringing the wrong element to a boss fight is the #1 reason players wipe. Here is the complete chart. Memorize it.
