In the world of Palworld, there's a creature for almost every task, but some Pals end up being more helpful than others when you compare them. Since the game is still in its early access phase, there's a chance to adjust the balance over time to make things fairer. However, a recent change actually made a Pal that was already good even better.
Balancing Pals in Palworld is tricky because you have to consider their levels and buffs. Even if a Pal seems weak initially, it could become really effective with the right resources. The issue is that many players might ignore a weak-looking Pal at first, opting for a better one temporarily. But this approach could mean missing out on some really great Pals in the long term.
Digtoise Gets A Boost In The New Palworld Patch
The latest patch, v0.1.5.0, for Palworld made adjustments to Digtoise, notably increasing its mining power through its partner skill, as stated in the patch notes on Palworld's official Twitter account. This change might be a relief for those who felt Digtoise was underperforming before. However, players who were already maximizing Digtoise's abilities are likely to be particularly thrilled about the Pal's enhanced capabilities. While Digtoise may not have been the top choice for mining in the game, giving it the right attention and care has always had the potential to turn it into a standout performer.
What Makes Digtoise An Overpowered Pal
What makes Digtoise stand out is its partner skill, Drill Crusher, which boosts its efficiency when mining ores. This skill is notable because it's affected by work speed bonuses, typically used to make Pals mine faster in Stone Pits. This unique trait leads to significant scaling when optimized, and the recent buff to Digtoise greatly enhances its effectiveness. Now, investing time in finding or breeding the perfect Digtoise is definitely worthwhile and can be crucial for establishing a successful mining operation.
While the Digtoise adjustment is the only noted balance change for a single Pal in the new patch, it reflects Pocketpair's commitment to ensuring each Pal is enjoyable to use. Although Digtoise has always been powerful, fully utilizing its strength might have been more trouble than it was worth before. However, that's no longer the case. For anyone seeking an exceptionally strong Pal for mining, Digtoise, with its newfound prowess, stands out brighter than ever in Palworld.
