Palworld at its core is a survival game and you need to level up your stats to make sure your fights go smoothly. Here are the best stats you should be looking to level up when playing Palworld.

Palworld, just like most other open-world survival games has stats that you can level up. You earn points whenever you gain a level in the game, which you can use to upgrade a desired stat.

The stat you upgrade will usually depend upon your playstyle. However, there are a few stats that will make your life easier in Palworld and also make the early game much smoother. In case you are confused, we have got you covered.

Here is what you need surrounding stat upgrades in Palworld.

Which stats should you upgrade in Palworld?

The stats that you are allowed to upgrade in Palworld are HP, Stamina, Weight, Work Speed, Attack, and Defense. All of these stats are worthwhile, but the ones you should focus on have been discussed below:

1. HP

You will never go wrong with upgrading your player’s vitality and health pool because there is always a possibility that you will get one or two-shot during battles if your HP is way too low.

Hence, it is recommended that you put points in your HP right from the start.

2. Stamina

Leveling up your Stamina is also valuable as running, climbing, swimming, and gliding can drain your energy.

If your Stamina is way too low, you will get exhausted very fast. Almost every task needs Stamina and leveling it up is a necessity.

3. Weight

Weight determines the amount of load you can carry in the game. This is a stat that you must prioritize, particularly in the early game, since you will have very few Pals.

Therefore, increasing your weight will help you to build your base much faster, and at least get you to the point in your game when you will have more, stronger Pals to do the work.

The other stats are also important but not as valuable. This is because, when it comes to combat or working, most of that will involve your Pals. Hence, attack, defense, and work speed are not as necessary and you should level them only if you have spare points to use.

In any case, do not forget to level up whenever a stat point is available. There is no benefit in collecting stat points as staying under-leveled will make the game difficult for you unnecessarily.
