Similar to the popular monster collection game that heavily inspired Palworld, the game also has elemental strengths and weaknesses that add depth to the game's combat. In this article, we will discuss Palworld's Elemental Chart and the various factors that affect this system.

Elemental Chart

All pals in the game will have at least one elemental type which will dictate the amount of damage they can deal or receive to or from other pals. Paying attention to this useful combat mechanic can be vital when you're fighting tower bosses or alpha pals in the overworld. You can conveniently review this Element Chart in-game by accessing the Survival Guide in your main menu.

The arrows in the chart indicate that the element deals higher damage to it. So for example, by referring to the chart below, we can easily tell that Water deals higher damage to Fire while Fire deals higher damage to Ice and Dark. On the other hand, the weaker element will deal less damage to the strong element. In this case, Fire pals will deal less damage against Water pals.

Elemental Damage Calculation

That said, when two Pals are dealing damage against each other, the damage output will be affected by their respective elements as listed in our chart below. Take note that for pals with dual elements, they'll have either a massive damage increase or decrease, depending on the matchup.

Elemental Matchup	Damage Dealt
Stronger element	x2 Damage
Weaker element	1/2 Damage
Dual Element, Both Strong	x4 Damage
Dual Element, Both Weak	1/4 Damage
Dual Element, One Weak, One Strong	Normal Damage (no modifiers)

You can also refer to the chart we created below. Basically, you just need to check the element of the pal that will deal the damage using the rows and comparing them to the element of the pal receiving the damage using the columns. Blank cells means that the pals will deal and receive normal damage without any modifiers.

There you have it! Remember, you can always consult your Paldeck to review further details of the pals we have listed here. Don't stress yourself too much about your pal team's composition or members since as we've mentioned, elemental damage modifiers will only be extremely useful when dealing with bosses and alpha pals. In normal exploration or pal hunting, simply bringing a powerful pal can still overpower pals it is weak against.
