Best Water Pals in Palworld: Tier List Ranking

by | Feb 25, 2024

With 10+ Water Pals at your disposal, there’s something for everyone. Having said that, all Water Type Pals were not created well. While some can be easily discarded as mediocre, a few are considered among the best Pals in Palworld.

This guide ranks every Water Pal in Palworld, covering their strengths, weaknesses, work suitabilities, and more.

Parlworld Best Water Pal: Jormuntide

Jormuntide is, hands down, the best Water Pal in Palworld right now. It has the highest stats amongst Water Pals, including Attack and HP, making it one of the strongest Pals in the game. Plus, offering a mixture of Dragon, Water and Electric attacks, it can cover a lot of bases. Jormuntide also has Watering Level 4 and can be used as a Mount (without depleting stamina!). What more could we ask?

  • Location: Coordinates -176, -268 and 351, -85
  • Possible Drops: Pal Fluids
  • Skills: Aqua Gun, Dragon Cannon, Draconic Breath, Aqua Burst, Tri-Lightning, Hydro Laser, Dragon Meteor

About our Tier Ranks

Our Tier Rank takes into account a Pal’s Combat stats, Partner Skill, Work suitabilities, and, for those that can be used as mounts, their Speed. While Combat stats are the main criteria, Pals with exceptionally high Work Suitability levels or fast mount speeds will be ranked higher than Pals with slightly higher stats but mediocre Work suitabilities, for example.

Best Water Type Palworld: Strengths and Weaknesses

Keep in mind that Elements play a crucial role and will lead to substantial advantages (or disadvantages) depending on the Element of the Pals that are fighting. Make sure you always use the proper Element based on your enemy. In this case:

Water Pals are strong against Fire Pals and weak against Electric Pals.

Offensive Defensive
✅ Bonus Damage Vs. Fire ✅  High Resistance Vs. Fire
⛔️ Weak Damage Vs. Electric ⛔️ Low Resistance Vs. Electric

The TL;DR

  • Pal attacks are super effective against the types shown. When attacked with the corresponding element, the numbers will be shown in red, similar to a headshot, to indicate super effective damage.
  • Pals are also RESISTANT against the same elements they are super effective against and their own element. Numbers will be shown in grey to indicate not very effective damage.
  • Dual-type pals will follow these same rules for both of their elements. This can cancel out a weakness. For example, a Penking (Ice and Water) will take normal damage from fire attacks, indicated by white numbers.
  • Stab stands for Same Type Attack Bonus. This is a small bonus to attack damage if your Pal shares a type with that attack. A Fire pal will deal more damage with a fire attack than a pal of a different type using the same attack. The community has calculated this bonus to be about 20%.

Using Water Pals for Watering

Watering is a Work Suitability that allows your Pals to water your crops and use water-based machines like the Crusher. All Water-type Pals have the Watering skill to various degrees, though. We cover the best Palworld Watering Pals in detail here.
