Oh my, I certainly didn't intend for that, my apologies!

I do! I just didn't want to abuse monster pods since they do ludicrous damage.

@@BlackyVodStorage actually they don't wall bang are possibly 60 to 120 range damage , master rank is when you do those juicy 1k to 1.5k wall damage.

I agree on the wall bangs, it's the slinger burst evades that do massive damage without much effort. Earlier in the run, they were dealing most of the monster's health, I think particularly a low rank anjanath I fought was mostly unable to move since claggers allowed me to refill bomb pods. 😅

There are a multitude of ways, but the simplest is just reaching hr 30! That's what I did here, and I never found myself starving for levels before that point!

@@BlackyVodStorage oh ok

There are some codes online that you can either put into ryujinx or a modded switch for 60 or even 120 fps!

Its been so long that I had completely forgotten what she used at that point in the story. 😅

This is a bit long, but it's how I like to build my palicoes and why! Ok, so for palicos, your main goal is having them us as many support moves as they can before the monster eventually takes them down. This is more important for endgame monsters since palicos usually go down very quickly to deviants and hypers, but still helps in regular hunts. Go, Fight, Win is one of, if not THE most important move for a Support cat, in fact, this skill is so good your main prowler should be running it too, it gives you more chances for mega boomerangs, makes healing to full almost free with soothing roll/emergency retreat, and also helps save bar when it comes time to refresh boomerangs, furrious, or beast mode. The DUMMY (Diva) Skill helps tremendously by increasing the amount of time your Support guage is reduced when your cat uses Go, Fight, Win from 20 to 30 seconds for the first buff, and from 40 to 60 seconds for the full dance buff, but the skill is a rare find as you have to have someone give you a cat with it, either from MHXX or a save edited cat. Demon Horn is a flat +10 Raw, and armor horn is a +10 PERCENT defense boost. Percentages are good. Wide-Whiskers Horn boosts these both by +5 and makes other horn moves stronger. Palico Rally boosts attack by 10 percent and defense by 20 Percent, again percentage boosts are really good, it also makes your Healer palico not slack for 3 minutes. The reason we double up on horns is that in case one cat is dead, the other can still keep our buffs up. As for other Skills, Support move +1 is pretty self-explanatory, Counter boost and support boost stack making your cats use moves more often, non-stick fur keeps cats out of binding statuses, Negate confusion prevents cats from panicking, and in the case of not having access to Diva, you can use the extra skills to try and keep you cats alive longer. Any questions are appreciated as I'm sure I haven't covered everything, anyway, here are the sets. Healing bias: Support moves True health horn (innate) Armor Horn or Cheer horn (Innate) Herb horn (innate) Small barrel Bombay (innate) Health horn (A class skill) Go, Fight, Win (B class skill) Vase of vitality (B class skill) Wide Whiskers Horn (C class skill) Demon horn (Taught) Armor Horn/Cheer Horn (Taught) Skills: Defense up S (innate) Horn virtuoso (innate) Support move +1 (A class skill) Counter boost (B class skill) Support boost (B class skill) Non-stick fur/health up s (C class skill) DUMMY (Diva in MHXX) If Diva is not available, teach any 2 slot skill that keeps your cat alive like Health up L, Defense up L, or Artful Dodger (taught) 1 slot skill (Taught, but you can put anything you want here) Charisma bias: Support moves: Palico Rally (innate) Herb horn (innate) Small barrel Bombay (Innate) Health horn (A class skill) Go, Fight, Win (B class Skill) Vase of Viatlity (B class skill) Wide-Whiskers Horn (C class Skill) Dung bombay (C class skill) Armor Horn (taught) Demon Horn (taught) Cheer horn (taught) Skills: Same as Healer. As for equipped skills: Healer: True Health Horn Armor/Cheer horn Health horn Go, Fight, Win Wide-Whiskers horn Cheer/Armor horn Demon horn Vase of Vitality Skills: DUMMY (Diva) or the skill you taught in place of it Support move +1 Counter Boost Support Boost Any 1 slot skill, non-stick fur is good though. Charisma: Palico Rally Go, Fight, Win Health Horn Demon Horn Cheer Horn Wide-Whiskers Horn Armor Horn Vase of Vitality, or Dung Bombay for intruder quests Skills are once again the same as Healer.

@@BlackyVodStorage you didn’t have to go that hard hahaha. Thank you so much, this is all incredible information. I’m gonna be coming back to this so often in the next couple weeks haha. Cheers, man, really appreciate it

No problem, glad I could help!

@@BlackyVodStorage absolutely, man. Cheers again

It's a game I really enjoy, but if you're on the fence about it, I would recommend waiting a while and letting the experience feel a little more fresh!

Pretty much the same for me! Started with Generations and then played Stories and absolutely adored them!

Yeah, I noticed that way too late. I apologize! 😅

Thank you!

Sorry for the late reply! For a more supportive set, I use ink saver main, swim speed up, and special charge up. If you want to be aggressive, you can go for quick respawn, but I'm not great with that playstyle!

Thanks for the tip! I had to finally look it up just to see that the story had to be completed. 😅
