Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak - How to Get the BEST Palico - Ultimate Palico Guide

You already have the best palico, it's the first one you make. That's the best one.

[@BlaineKodos]

Not only do I feel this, I made George (named for my actual cat) a healer and he ended up with all of the healing skills except the bubbles, he instead got the boomerang that counts for pilfering. I couldn't ask for a better support cat for how I hunt

[@TheOptimistDelusion]

@@BlaineKodos the mega boomerang pilfers?

[@skeletonwar4445]

The healing bat from the new secret skills is absolutely insane. The healing off that thing is massive and lasts for a long time. Basically makes you immune to anything but oneshots while its active.

[@TwoSpark55]

I was able to self sustain through bleed until the monster fled with the bat. don't sleep on the bat.

[@ChiriConCarne]

With Lottery box having bugs at the moment, The Bat is the next greatest alternative.

I wish it activated on its own or could be activated from the action bar without sheathing your weapon :C

@@ChiriConCarne What's the bug on lottery box? I haven't noticed it.

[@zinris]

You can get Eurekacorns from the Optional Subquests as well (specifically the new purple ones titled 'Hunting skills")

[@DeadlockDrago]

Not even. I got one just for gathering Honey. As far as I'm aware, any subquest can potentially yield one.

[@ajaafive1384]

For the palamute, The skills Counter and Ko King, combined with the Parasol Gear and a blunt weapon (I use pukei) is pretty good, especially if you have a bludgeoning attack as well.

[@Ronnyvitor]

thats right.... counter is extremely good, because he counter attack a monster, make a build up KO

[@TheLinkandmarioshow]

The new silkbind bow is mildly useful too. I think knockouts tend to come fairly often from the fact the best sleep weapon is a blunt weapon, but the silkbind launcher only rarely happens in my experience so it’s mostly just because it looks cool.

[@Ronnyvitor]

For some reason Knockout King is not good, because it doesn't significantly increase damage for KO is the same a Status up and attack up is a weak.. critical up is the best choice for deal more damage, with a Blitz Scroll palamute become a Dual blade dog haha

[@Purpletrident]

I always have 2 gather palicos with me since they essentially give enough materials to act like 2 hunts in one, so now being able to give them stuff from healer and assist cat is massive.

[@Dodotron2099]

Im so happy i don't have to replace my original palico that I've been using from the start.

[@KingDugan]

I would pay money for a "Prowler mode" DLC. That was one of my favorite things in Generations. Especially considering all of the new abilities that they have.

[@trontosaurusrex9532]

And imagine if they'd let you ride a Palamute in Prowler mode as well! Just got MHGU,haven't touched it since the 3ds original version.

[@Zanbatoss]

They should make that feature baseline tbh

I keep my Pilfer Palico on me at all times. It has netted me so many mantles and such over my very many hunts. Those little extra drops add up fast man.

[@SanchezOKelly]

You can also get eurikacorns from the optional subquests.

[@Fudge-_-]

THANKYOU for speaking about the bug, I honestly sat for about 10 minutes questioning why I spent so much time levelling up a certain palicoe when it’s abilities absolutely sucked!! I am now at the point where it doesn’t matter but I hope people see this before investing time into making the perfect one ✌️💜

[@14lucke96]

the swapping of the support move´s is useless for the people that have the bug, because the move´s reroll every time you are in a loading screen or exit the buddy board (at least it is that way for me)

[@XanderZeidel]

Yeah, as of right now the only thing that helped was NOT using the Lottery Box or the Felyne Powered-Up. I've stuck with the Healing Clover Bats, cause they are extremely helpful with some of the armor skills that drain your health

[@TheOptimistDelusion]

I just completed all the kitty upgrade campaigns right away and never got the bug :3

[@Zanbatoss]

Fucking hell, that's why my palico moves keep getting reverted and I thought Im going insane.

[@twofiftysix]

They have acknowledged that was a bug and are fixing it i think

[@scungillimane]

just use clover bat or the bombs and swap out your skills once you unlock the ability, no big deal til they fix it

[@4zureSapphire]

I recommend using support-centric for palicos and palamute gear that doesn't need attack for their skills to work. Highly recommend using support-centric for gatherer to plunderblade another time in a typical hunt to gain scrap for equipment/layered armor.

[@DarkButz]

I get the feeling Palicoes got a massive buff in Sunbreak. Before Sunbreak I was lucky if my healer Palico used the horn even once. Now he easily uses 2-3 per fight, as well as planting more healing trees (and not planting them right as the monster is about to escape). Also, the Lottery Box is kinda ridiculous. Most of the time you get the Kittenator which deals nice damage, but most importantly knocks monsters to the ground every single time.

[@eliaslui8372]

Love the kittenator u get it so iften from the lottery box

[@carlyl2032]

You can also get Eurekacorns sometimes from the extra side missions you get from the Quest Maiden. Like hunt 1 large monster for example.

[@xedex3785]

Eurekacorn are really easy to farm from the rewards for the support quests on hunts. Example: Apply status effects 5 times, collect ore, or collect honey will often times give you one. I see them quite often and are very helpful and easy to get it this way.

[@fearandwar6090]

You can get Eurekacorns from the argosy if you do backroom dealings.

[@guccistomper7385]

I never switched from my crew of palicos; I refused to change them. Now I can make them great on the outside too!

[@林聖偉-w8g]

I still have base rise , and I'd saying farming for the right cat really improves hunting experience. Like I farmed for a Collector cat with power drum , go fight go , and thunder bug , and has a status attack up passive. My Palicos are too useful for me to bring Palamutes on online hunts lol . Hearing people I play on DC group praise how good my Palico is always made my day

[@Kathmandoe]

Haha, MR55 here, did not know all this, never bothered to look it up. Great video!

[@chikenmorris7170]

I’m still using the original palico and palamute from when I first made my save file, the only reason I’ve ever switched them out is now in sunbreak to complete the quests where you have to do 3 hunts with each type of palico.

[@rosenrot234]

I was totally unaware of the new buddy skills. I didn't even see them as an option when I looked through the skills available

[@YoungstaJoey-j2s]

You can also occasionally get eurekacorn from the optional sub quests from chichae. Usually they give armor spheres and kamura points but they can also give eurekacorn from time to time so make sure to check

[@peteralbanese5191]

DAMMIT I KNEW I WASNT CRAZY! I had multiple cats with really good ability/skill sets and they randomized when I took them out recently. This is so validating and frustrating lol.

[@Zanbatoss]

Lol i feel ya, I thought im going senile

[@Joeynator3000]

Wished Palamutes had more changes to them, even with the new stuff, I still feel like I'd rather have two cats with me instead.

[@silverarcher6609]

Palamutes are only really useful for transportation so but even then, it's not that big of deal with wirebugs and skip travel.

[@Joeynator3000]

@@silverarcher6609 I don't even fast travel too much, lol

[@TheOptimistDelusion]

If I'm allowed to bring only one, it's my palico all the way. Still, the palamute's new "sniff out" is pretty nice since you can make a beeline to get your green/red spirit birds at the start of a hunt; the extra hp makes MR quests much comfier :3

Gather palico all the way. So far most of my mantles were gained because of them. Love my little warrior

[@Northern_Critter]

I have my trapper cats, both have shock traps and poison pitfall and as a bonus they have felyne skillbind and health bubble thingy, i also equip them with poison and paralysis. In sunbreak i find that they lay traps much more often moreover they will lay 2 traps or 3 at the same time in the same area! and i have lots of clips to prove that. As another bonus, their skills consist of health up and bunch of negate skills. In my opinion and *experience*, these are the best combination.

[@cesaritox09]

Lol I use same palico with those skills. I make sure it had a blunt weapon with sleep or para and status attack+. They are very useful. Unless you are fighting an elder dragon. But still the bubbles and the new hidden healing skill still helps a lot.

[@TheOptimistDelusion]

The "negate" skills are so niche, though. I'd rather use those slots for status atk up, support focus, & artful dodger

[@Northern_Critter]

@@TheOptimistDelusion it's for stuff like earplugs or anything that doesnt allow me to move for a few seconds Otherwise ill use stat atk up

[@HankJ666]

I didn't knew the support moves being changed was due to the secret support move, that said, it's not only when you equip it, it seems to just randomly change pretty much after almost every quest, it's pretty annoying

[@spence6195]

I am SO glad I can customize the moves and skills for Palicos and Palamutes now

[@superbones5000]

I spent literally dozens of hours grinding out the palicos to the point I have no room for anymore and each has different classes support skills and then skills, only to be told that lmao all that time was wasted you can just make any palico what you want, glad these options exist because the grind was dumb but also wish I didn’t spend so much time

[@vampiricknight82]

I like the fact that we can customize our buddies now. I hated the RNG gods in rise. My question now is WHERE IS MY KITTYNATOR???

[@pineappleoverlord9k462]

fyi for those that need to hear this. if you are wondering why fuzzy fluffy things look flat and dirty now its due to the implementation of dlss. why dlss is good if ur computer cant run rise on max it does make visuals look more... dirty in a lot of ways so this goes for ur palamutes and palicos along with anything else that may be fuzzy/furry in nature

[@josephdacsil2048]

Healer Palicos are OP. Yes, their main purpose is to heal but they're also very powerful and useful in battle if you equip them with the right skills.

[@TheOptimistDelusion]

That's true for all cats ._.

[@victini6266]

Oml finally someone else who uses shock tripper. People kept saying the trap was better by my Palico would always place a trap in a corner or something 😂

[@nathanielnizard2163]

Compagnons are the oposite of the player. If you own at the game better having status ones, if your hunts are slogfest, ele builds will do more damage overall and you focus on surviving and trying to setup things(para yourself, traps etc). Palamutes are still big damage compared to palicos, however I can see a point getting 2 mini dragonators.

[@TwoSpark55]

Some optional quest rewards also net one fancy acorn. Usually it is one of the gathering rewards, but ive only seen them as a x1 on the loot table

[@themuch21]

You can get the new acorns from the subquest, and I am pretty sure that I got some from the argosy as well

[@MrWario20001]

Totally forgot about the cohoot nest lol 😆

[@Abyssal86]

You can also get corn as a reward for the optional sub-quests.

[@unloyal4847]

And here I was rnging the heck out of it since I've started playing a few days ago xD good to know. For the buddy thing does it count for Palamutes too? I kind of don't want to replace my doggy since I named it after my real dog? :

[@apersoncalledme378]

The skill lessons work with the dogs making them fully customisable, unlike the cats which can not change classes.

You could also rename the better or different palamute for the name of your real dog... :p (In the buddy scout menu)

[@xdrkcldx]

Palico good for groups and monster hunting. Palemute good for farming. Especially now with the extra pouch

[@-42-47]

I'm lazy so I prefer going with my Palamute Roach, riding wherever I wanna go while sharpening and consuming potions+rations as I chase the monster, quickly re-engaging the monster with full health+stamina+wirebugs. Sure, they are pretty useless in fights compared to Palicos, though it's pretty handy to just ride around a bit while sharpening and healing up against the more aggressive monsters.

[@Zanbatoss]

The new sniffing feature is too good tbh because I have memory of a goldfish to remember the spiribirds locations 🤣

[@TheGift137]

Nice so they did bring back the skill learning feature from MHGen yet my buddies are still capped at Lv50??? Dang...

you can also get the eurekacorn through optional sidequests

Dude If that was in the original game my life would have been so much easier, I had to grind so much to get the best Palico and Palamute for my DB

[@hootis_567]

could anyone elaborate on what was said about skills “not be recoverable” after forgotten? does this mean that the skill can never be taught to the palico again even when using the skill transfer system, or can it be relearned and used as usual? 3:27

[@TheOptimistDelusion]

Let's say you have 5 cats in your roster and only 1 of them knows "artful dodger." If you replace it, it means you can't teach it to any other cat since no one in your roster knows it now. So you'd have to find and hire another cat who knows the move

[@KaiSchSp]

The bug that randomizes your Palico abilities got fixed yesterday. So customize away Hunters! :)

[@PinoyGamingTribe]

I am new to mhsunbreak but i have question. In swap skill moves you cannot swap a skill. only the 2nd skill can change.

[@Doc_sun]

Just a quick question to those who have all three quests. Once you change all three skills does it fix the issue. Because right now every time I do anything budy related and anytime I take my cat on a hunt his skills change. Every time! Even if I change the level 5 one it changes again. Sooo it's useless for me. Once all three quests are done does it stop switching? Otherwise I need the patch XD

[@theprowlerking]

Support Centric is such a dumb skill imo, Felvine litterally does the same thing and the cooldown isn't too bad. But the attack centric skills are definitely must have so that they aren't using their worst offense stat :3 My current Palico Murder Build has two Fighter Palicoes with Ranged Centric, Ranged Attack Up, Attack Up L Critical Up S, and Critical Up L Their three RNG moves are Mega Boomerang, Power Drum (They like to play it one after the other drum effect ends) and Shock Purrison to keep them in place for Felyine Fireworks, to set Felvine, Heal, or to just get some good damage with Mega Boomerang.

[@theprowlerking]

But yes it's an amazing upgrade to customize your palicoes COMPLETELY

[@frenzykingmagala7436]

I was hoping for something like how it was in gu but we got even better because even gu was rng in customizing your palicoes unless you had those rare books Also does support centric only affect the buddy its attached to or does one apply to all your buddies in the hunt

[@opossumking4452]

Shock tripper is also more reliable and goes off more tbh, the trap is a trap lol

[@AxiomAxololt]

So I'm doing the quest to get 3 buddies to a skill memory of 8, I've gotten two cats and a dog to 8 but it hasn't done the quest for me

[@SairouIX]

Palicoes are probably overall more useful. They’re our classic tride and true buddies. They have much more support, if you’re skilled with a wirebug you can traverse the map just as fast, and they probably just overall have more of an affect on the hunt as a whole.
