Prevents Pal from Defeating Wild Pals

Palworld - Mercy Hit 1 HP

Pals with the Mercy Hit Passive Skill will always leave their target with 1 HP, preventing them from completely defeating the Pal.

Pals with this passive are very useful to include in your team if you're aiming to capture a lot of Pals. Leaving wild Pals with 1 HP will boost your capture chance, and Mercy Hit will guarantee that you don't accidentally defeat the Pal you're trying to catch.

This is similar to the effects of the Ring of Mercy item, but this one is for Pals and not the player character.

Does Not Affect Damage Over Time

Palworld - Mercy Hit Damage Over Time

Do take note that Mercy Hit does not apply to damage over time effects like being burned or poisoned.

If you have a Pal with these kinds of attacks, Mercy Hit will only work on the actual attack but will not prevent a target from taking damage from being burned or poisoned. To avoid this, you can assign moves to your Pal with no additional effects.
