What is Astegon’s Weakness in Palworld?
Astegon is a hybrid Dark/Dragon-type Pal, making it vulnerable to two types of elemental attacks: Ice and Dragon. Ice is effective against Dragon, while Dragon is effective against Dark. This also means that your Dragon-type Pals can resist Astegon’s Dark-type attacks, and your Ice-type Pals can withstand some of its Dragon-type assaults.
However, having an elemental advantage alone may not suffice; it’s crucial to sufficiently level up both your character and your combat pals before challenging this tanky Alpha Pal!
