Palworld just recently released a fresh update with patch 0.6.4, and while many of the fixes were intended to balance the game, it also marks the end of an era for one of the newest Pals to hit the scene. With each update, Palworld has continued to grow, making it a stronger experience over time, and that includes regularly updating its Pal roster.
One of the most substantial balance updates featured in Palworld's 0.6.4 patch is the change to Trigger Happy. It's no secret that Trigger Happy was incredibly overpowered for newcomers Finsider and Finsider Ignis, and while this ability nerf was necessary to make the game as balanced as possible, it's also sad to see the overpowered nature of these Pals get brought down, even if it's slight.
Palworld's Latest Update Takes Finsider Ignis' Power Down a Peg
Being a variant of Finsider, what makes Finsider Ignis such a strong Pal is that it isn't just a Water type like its original version, but also a Fire type as well. This gives Finsider Ignis a special punch, and with Trigger Happy, the Pal quickly gained a reputation for being an incredibly overpowered option. Since its launch in early access, Palworld has faced a variety of ups and downs with its many updates, but ultimately, Finsider Ignis' Trigger Happy being less potent is the right decision in the long run. It was fun while it lasted, but it was simply far too powerful of a skill.
Finsider was added to Palworld in the recent Tides of Terraria update that launched on June 25.
Despite the Nerf, Finsider is Still a Strong Pal Well Worth the Time
Yes, patch 0.6.4 nerfed Trigger Happy, but honestly, it still may be one of the best skills in the game. The biggest difference is that it's just not the most powerful skill in an obviously overwhelming way. Even most Finsider Ignis lovers can agree that Trigger Happy was far too powerful to stay in its state forever, but it's at least still incredibly effective. Crafting one's Pal lineup in Palworld takes a lot of thought and care, depending on one's preference, and Finsider Ignis is a great option to have on one's roster.
A dual-pistol-wielding Pal seems like a novelty at first, but Finsider has proven to be incredibly useful since arriving in the game. Finsider and Finsider Ignis may have only been part of Palworld for a short time now, but the Pals have quickly become beloved by a lot of players, and for good reason.
Being a variant of Finsider, what makes Finsider Ignis such a strong Pal is that it isn't just a Water type like its original version, but also a Fire type as well.
Players who want their very own Finsider are able to find the Pal during both nighttime and daytime on Sunlit Isle. Those looking specifically for Finsider Ignis can fish for the Pal at Feybreak Island and Phantom Isle.
Palworld's Tides of Terraria Update is a Major Milestone for the Game
Finsider was far from the only addition featured in the Tides of Terraria update. This crossover with the beloved sandbox hit marks the first major collaboration with another game for Palworld, opening the doors for more major partnerships in the future.
As Palworld continues to grow and evolve, it will be fascinating to see what other collaborations are in store for the game. Even more thrilling, with each crossover, new Pals are bound to be added to the mix, further expanding the game's ever-growing roster. So far, the future of Palworld looks bright, and as more Pals continue to appear, other powerful options like Finsider and Finsider Ignis will likely make their way to the game's world.
