Some of the Pals found in Palworld make for excellent fighters while others are more suitable for building and working in your bases. Every Pal in the game has at least one trait that allows it to help out with tasks such asMining,Lumbering,Gathering,Handiwork, and more. However, certain Pals are so good at their job that they can single-handedly increase the efficiency of your bases by a significant margin.
Withwell over 100 Pals to choose from, it can sometimes be difficult to decide which of them should join you in your adventures and which should remain at your base. Luckily for you, we already put together a list of thebest combat Pals in the gameand in this article we’re going to make that decision even easier by taking a look at the best worker Pals in Palworld.
Worker Pals Tier List Ranking Criteria
Generally speaking, the best worker Pals in the game are those that come with multiple traits. Being versatile is very important, especially in the early game when you’re running on a single base that supports a limited number of Pals. As you progress and start building additional bases, you’ll find that specialized Pals with one or two high-level traits can be just as valuable since they can more easily focus on specific tasks.
It’s worth noting that some Pals are invaluable for your base primarily because of their Farming-related skills. Some good examples include Mozzarina, Vixy, and Mau. We covered those separately in ourbest Farming Pals tier list, but they will also be included here since Farming does count as a Work Suitability trait. Some of the Pals that provide resources like Honey or Cloth will be ranked one or two tiers higher than they normally would be. Same goes for some of theDark type Palsthat can work during the night.

Here you can find all console commands for Palworld.
Another important thing worth mentioning is that some Pals are much better off in your party even if they do have good work traits. For instance, you probably wouldn’t want to leave a Legendary Pal like Frostallion in charge of cooling your fridge even if it does have the Level 4Coolingtrait. Technically speaking, it is the best fridge cooler in the game and will be ranked quite highly on this list because of that, but you should still consider having Pals like Frostallion in your party because they’re even better in combat.

With all of that out of the way, join us as we take a look at the best worker Pals in Palworld.
These Pals are absolutely indispensable for players looking to put together a highly efficient base. A lot of S Tier Pals come with several highly sought-after traits such as Mining, Handiwork, Kindling, andWatering. Furthermore, this is where you’ll find most, though not all, of the Pals that come with those rare Level 4 traits. Coincidentally, many of the S Tier worker Pals also happen to be fantastic at fighting and/or some of thefastest flying mounts in the game. In other words, some of these Pals are S Tier all around.

A Tier Pals are a bit less valuable as workers compared to S Tier ones, but they’re still very solid in the grand scheme of things. Here’s where you’ll find most of the remaining Pals with Tier 4 traits that didn’t make it into the S Tier, as well as a bunch of Pals with at least one Tier 3 trait. There are only a couple of A Tier Pals that can be encountered very early on in the game. Namely, Lifmunk, Tanzee, and then Flopie a bit later on. Even though all their traits are only Level 1, they each get access to five of them. Make sure you assign those Pals to your base asap after starting out because they’ll do a lot of the heavy lifting for you in the early game.

Next up we have the middle of the pack. Some of these Pals are fairly versatile but most of them tend to be quite specialized in working on specific tasks. These Pals are by no means bad, but they’re not necessarily the best at what they do either. Here’s where you’ll find most of the Pals with Tier 3 traits that didn’t make it into A Tier. You’ll immediately spot a few early game Pals here like Fuack, Fuddler, Vixy, and Depresso, among others. Most of the other ones can only be encountered much later on in the game. By that point, you should already have a few A Tier and even some S Tier worker Pals around your bases.

We’re starting to get to some pretty mediocre Pals here, at least as far as Work Suitability is concerned. A lot of these are actually not half-bad in combat, but they won’t do much back at base. There are a couple of notable exceptions like Mau/Mau Cryst and Mozzarina, who can provide players withGold Coinsand Milk, respectively, but the value of those things decreases rapidly past the early game. As far as the rest of the C Tier Pals are concerned, they can do a bit of work around the base but you’d be much better off replacing them with some of the higher tier Pals.

You’re pretty much scrapping the bottom of the barrel if you’re using any of these Pals as workers for your bases. Granted, some of them are not that bad when you’re just starting out and you don’t have a ton of Pals to choose from. But once you start finding some better workers, you should replace these D Tier workers asap. You could make an argument for wanting to keep Chikipi around since that’s the only Pal that lays eggs. However, eggs are very cheap to buy and can be found lying around on the ground everywhere, so it’s not really worth taking up a worker slot just for those. Everyone else is disposable as a worker.
