Which pals learn Dark Arrow

Dark Arrow sits on 17 learnsets in Palworld 1.0, the earliest unlocking at level 7. Bellanoir gets the most out of it at 150 attack. Every learner and its unlock level is on this page.

Dark Arrow power and cooldown

Dark Arrow hits for 120 on a 8 second cooldown, which is at the low end of Dark's range, where the hardest hitter lands at 800. 8 seconds between casts puts it in the middle of a rotation rather than at the start of one.

How to get the Dark Arrow skill fruit

Dark Arrow has a skill fruit, so any pal can carry it whatever its own element. Fruits rotate on the blue skill fruit trees and turn up in Palworld field chests. Feeding one to an off-element pal costs you the same-type damage bonus and nothing else, so a 120-power move is still worth the slot on a pal with the attack to swing it.

Can Dark Arrow pass to eggs

Yes. A parent that knows Dark Arrow gives the hatchling a chance to be born with it already equipped, which is one fewer fruit and one fewer level grind. Check which half of a pair carries it before you commit them, because the breeding planner reads the moves off your save and can tell you.

Is Dark Arrow worth using

Early on. 120 power is at the low end of Dark's range, so it is what you use before the element's real moves unlock at up to 800. Keep it if the 8 second cooldown is doing the work; drop it once Bellanoir learns anything bigger.

Dark Arrow FAQ

Which pals learn Dark Arrow in Palworld?
17 of them, and the grid on this page names every one with the level it unlocks Dark Arrow at. The earliest is Celesdir Noct at level 7; Bellanoir gets the most out of it at 150 attack. The list is read off the game's own skill-master table.
Can you get Dark Arrow from a skill fruit?
Yes. Dark Arrow has a skill fruit, so any pal can learn it whatever its element. Fruits rotate on the skill fruit trees and turn up in field chests. Putting it on an off-element pal costs you the same-type damage bonus, not the move itself.
How much damage does Dark Arrow do in Palworld?
Dark Arrow has 120 power and a 8 second cooldown. Power gets multiplied by the pal's attack stat and the element matchup, so the same move hits far harder on Bellanoir at 150 attack than on anything below it.
Is Dark Arrow a good skill in Palworld?
Early only. 120 power is at the low end of Dark's range against 800 at the top of the element, so it fills a bar before the real Dark moves unlock and comes off it afterwards. The 8 second cooldown is the one thing in its favor.
Can Dark Arrow be inherited by breeding?
Yes. A parent that knows Dark Arrow gives the egg a chance to hatch with the move already equipped, which saves you a fruit and a level grind. Worth checking which parent has it before you commit a pair to the breeding farm.
