Sand Tornado power and cooldown
Sand Tornado hits for 200 on a 12 second cooldown, which is at the low end of Ground's range, where the hardest hitter lands at 700. 12 seconds between casts puts it in the middle of a rotation rather than at the start of one.
How to get the Sand Tornado skill fruit
Sand Tornado 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 200-power move is still worth the slot on a pal with the attack to swing it.
Can Sand Tornado pass to eggs
Yes. A parent that knows Sand Tornado 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 Sand Tornado worth using
Early on. 200 power is at the low end of Ground's range, so it is what you use before the element's real moves unlock at up to 700. Keep it if the 12 second cooldown is doing the work; drop it once Anubis learns anything bigger.
Sand Tornado FAQ
- Which pals learn Sand Tornado in Palworld?
- 30 of them, and the grid on this page names every one with the level it unlocks Sand Tornado at. The earliest is Gildra at level 15; Anubis gets the most out of it at 130 attack. The list is read off the game's own skill-master table.
- Can you get Sand Tornado from a skill fruit?
- Yes. Sand Tornado 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 Sand Tornado do in Palworld?
- Sand Tornado has 200 power and a 12 second cooldown. Power gets multiplied by the pal's attack stat and the element matchup, so the same move hits far harder on Anubis at 130 attack than on anything below it.
- Is Sand Tornado a good skill in Palworld?
- Early only. 200 power is at the low end of Ground's range against 700 at the top of the element, so it fills a bar before the real Ground moves unlock and comes off it afterwards. The 12 second cooldown is the one thing in its favor.
- Can Sand Tornado be inherited by breeding?
- Yes. A parent that knows Sand Tornado 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.
