So today I decided to mess around with Falaris in Palworld – that fire-type Pal with the cool magma armor look, you know the one? Heard good things about his battle potential but wasn’t totally sure how to make him shine. Here’s how I figured it out step by step.
Getting My Hands Dirty
First things first, I took my highest level Falaris into one of those lower level Sanctuary areas. Wanted to test him without getting instantly crushed, right? I just kinda threw him into fights against random weaker Pals. Honestly, those first couple fights felt kinda slow. His basic attacks? Not super impressive, felt like chipping away at stone. Made me wonder what the hype was about.
Then I started cycling through his moves mid-fight. Tap, tap, tap on the move buttons. What clicked? Found out he learns Ignis Blast pretty early. Okay, that’s a decent fire shot, standard stuff. Then I noticed Ignis Rage – it’s basically this flamethrower cone in front of him. Pretty solid when enemies get close together. Useful, yeah, but still… felt like he could do more.
The Real Game Changer
Here’s where the lightbulb went off. I swapped Falaris into a fight against some Grass Pals. Big damage difference – obvious fire advantage! But the real discovery was this absolute beast of a move he learns later: Flare Storm. Leveling him up paid off big time.
Finally unlocked Flare Storm around level 45 on my guy. Took him into a fight near one of those big lava lakes. Found a decent group of mid-level foes – nothing too crazy, maybe level 30ish. Okay, Falaris… time to shine.
Triggered Flare Storm. Holy smokes! The screen lit up. Massive pillars of fire just erupting everywhere on the ground all around him. It felt like calling in an artillery strike. Those Pals? Melted. Went from full health to dust practically before the animation finished. Damage was insane! That massive Area of Effect damage is no joke. This is the secret sauce, people.
What I Actually Use Now
After all that testing? Here’s the setup I stick with religiously:
- Ignis Blast: Still good for poking stuff from a distance or hitting flyers Flare Storm can’t reach.
- Ignis Rage: Kept it for crowd control when things get close and personal. Works great.
- Flare Storm: THE main event. The big red button. When you absolutely, positively have to delete everything in the immediate vicinity. Cooldown’s a bit long, so you gotta pick the moment.
- Magma Blast: Unlocked this one later too. Harder hitting single-target than Ignis Blast. Perfect for those beefier single bosses or when Flare Storm is cooling down.
Final Thoughts
So yeah, here’s the thing about Falaris. He’s a slow burner (pun intended!) until you unlock that big move. Testing him early on? Meh. Felt kinda underwhelming. Basic attacks and starter moves make him seem like just another fire Pal.
But oh man, once Flare Storm hits that battlefield? Different beast entirely. Turns him into this walking apocalypse zone. Best use I found? Farming groups or wiping out dungeon rooms full of lower stuff super fast. Also slaps hard against any Nature-type boss – absolutely shreds them.
The key takeaway? Don’t judge your Falaris too early. Level him up, bite the bullet and unlock Flare Storm. Once you get that bad boy on his moveset? That’s when you see why people hype him up. He becomes your personal fireworks display… that also happens to incinerate everything.
