Palworld Combat, Towers, and Raids
Type matchups, condensing, tower order, and why raids are a settings-plus-walls problem.
Type is the build
Swap Pals the way you swap weapons. The hills party that beat Zoe can bounce off Lily. Read the boss. Bring the counter. A grey legendary with the wrong type is still the wrong type.
Towers
Zoe is the exam for 'do you have a combat roster.' Later towers sit in forest, desert, volcano, snow, and expansion islands. Ancient Technology from clears unlocks the crafts you actually wanted. Walk in with food and a party that is not the mining crew.
Player weapons
You do not have to main guns. Pal skills carry early. Guns and better spheres speed bosses and catching. Ammo is a factory product — if you cannot feed the gun, the spear plus Pals is the real build.
Condensing
Stars on the Pals you fight with. Catch extras of that species. A box of unused legendaries is not condensing. Upgrade the one that already has the right type.
Raids
Early base raids want walls, a roof, and a home fighter. If they feel unfair, check world settings. Large raid bosses later are a gear and party check — treat them like a tower, not like a wolf on the lawn.
