How to get Demon’s Hand

Random roll

The game's passive table lets Demon’s Hand roll at random on World Tree Pals (AddWorldTreePal).

Lottery weight, as the table gives it. It says how often this passive is drawn relative to the others; the table does not turn it into a percentage, so neither do we.

The Pal Surgery Table grafts Demon’s Hand with its disposable implant, which the surgery uses up; the card carries no gold price. The table unlocks at technology level 38.

    Breeding Demon’s Hand onto a Pal

    If one parent carries Demon’s Hand, the chance the child inherits it depends on how many different passives the two parents hold between them — a passive both carry counts once:

    • Only Demon’s Hand100%
    • 2 passives in all80%
    • 3 passives in all63%
    • 4 passives in all50%

    From PalCalc’s model of the game’s breeding tables (tylercamp/palcalc), which treats every passive alike: the child inherits one to four passives from the pool and may roll up to three random ones, four at most in all. Plan whole pairings in the breeding calculator.

    Stacking and counterparts

    A Pal holds up to four passives and never the same one twice. palworld.wiki.gg: If multiple Passive Skills affect the same attribute, their effects will stack unless otherwise stated. Source
