I feel Vase of Vitality is being really underrated when going against monsters that inflict status effects regularly, like waterblight, thunderblight or even sleep. It has a relatively short cooldown, stays on the ground for a while once placed, gives you recovery speed and removes all negative status affects. Also a bonus, your palico will not just randomly place it, once you get affected by a status for the first time it will run to you and drop it down. And then from there as long as it isn't on cooldown, it will do that again if the monster moves to another zone.

[@markedred]

The vase clears Hellfire and Bubbly too righr? Because the one downside I can think of is if you're running either a Hellfire or a Bubbly Dance set. In which case, you DO want the status on you, and only remove it on your own terms. But otherwise yes, I've been saved by that vase multiple times.

[@raining6983]

Felyne Silkbind is a funnier/sillier looking move imo. Just watching my cat reel in a large monster and the squeaky sounds that the contraption makes is so funny. Bonus points when the initial hit actually stops a monster's attack midway

[@UsaM]

I had to remove my headphone and mute the switch because I thought our faucet or somewhere was leaking, I fucking lold so much 🤣

[@dracomaneer]

Its actually super good, because it can straight up drop a monster out of the sky if its jumping or flying.

Can't stress enough Gathering Palicos are mad good, extra statuses, more materials, mine has the ability to lay down some cheeky explosive mines too

[@danthefool21]

I use double Gatherer Palico. One that has healing bubble and the other has the power drum. Remember that the lvl 1 Fighter buff also gives Earplugs.

[@ChibiNaruto]

Conclusion: Just pick a freaking gathering palico, you got material and great support in the same time😺

[@ronwesilen4536]

I hope they put that into the game before g rank. I think it is pretty stupid to not be able to get your perfect palico

[@Ruby_Mochii]

Ah same, the game sometimes lacks teaching stuff like these. I've been playing MH games and there are things that I didn't know lol Training skills used to be a thing if i remember right, i just get the right skills beforehand.

[@custardman]

Yep me too. Just happened to stumble across the Buddy Board and realise you need to activate them.

[@zackmhuntr25]

It's fun making the perfect palico in MHGU since other palicoes can teach skills to the others. And Prowler mode. Prowler mode is awesome.

@@zackmhuntr25 But Makar is the most awesome :)

[@SteelPokeNinja]

Just going to mention, there is another palico trap similar to shock purr-ison, I don't know exactly what it's called but it's a poisoned pitfall trap

[@itsturniptime3699]

Exclusive to Assist Palico though

[@chi7818]

Traps on palicos suck because monsters build resistance to traps so it makes it harder to trap them later. Elder dragons are also immune to traps

[@DairunCates]

@@chi7818 You'd be surprised how much you hunt non-elders late game. Also, resistance means they bust out sooner, but it's still a free opening.

[@chi7818]

@@DairunCates yeah I guess you can tranq first then drop a trap.

[@ItheauthorityI]

My assist palico has the pitfall and shock traps and it slaps. Gatherer sounds even better though, gonna have to try it.

[@Daria-Morgendorffer]

I forget the name but I like the endemic life skill, spawns wirebugs, I use it with shock trap and healing bubble (or stamina buff with dual blades) on the gathering palico

[@Heavy_Blues]

I'm sure double Palico is optimal from a dmg/utility perspective but I just can't not take my palamute just for the mobility.

[@Heavy_Blues]

@Shasvin Puvanesvaran Yeah, but you can sharpen and use items while on a Palamute, between fights and even in the _middle_ of a fight. Can't stress enough how useful that is.

[@MrSirFluffy]

@@Heavy_Blues Oh yeah, as soon as I noticed you can sharpen on your palamute it changed the game. So I can chase the monster down while eating steak, healing, and sharpening my blade. The wirebugs and doggos were a great addition to the games. I just wish they'd bring back hunting as a Palico.

[@dankdc5_]

It's called fast travel

[@XiaoYuanHao]

In addition to that, I find using the Palamute to jump into the face of a larger monster is incredibly useful

[@JGrove303]

I’m just hearing, “ Zero reason to not have a Gathering Palico permanently in the #1 spot at all times

[@seahawk1579]

I loved healer until I realised my gathering palico could get healing bubble + cleansing mist on it! + endemic life and pilfer, why would you use any other palico?

[@BLOODKINGbro]

Nah mate, bombpalico all the way

[@Dostwyn]

And apparently even your teammates get the rewards from the palico stealing materials, so everybody profits. My recommendation would be a Gathering-type palico with Go, Fight, Win, Power Drum, and Shock Purr-ison.

[@ridelyssxd704]

Is the pilfer skill like something they do on their own? I’ve been farming for talisman melding and I’ve never seen them throw the boomerang thing once and the spot on the results screen that tells you items you get from the palicos is almost always blank 👀

[@seahawk1579]

@@ridelyssxd704 what are you talking about? Talismans? They unlock automatically at level 20, just level your palicos up

[@NickelbackSavedRocknRoll]

Wow this is perfect timing! Was just going through all my Palico’s figuring out when I want. Love your channel Paradise! Oh yeah this guy Arekkz is kinda cool too.

[@ND_Trickster]

A good thing to note is that you can actually capture monsters when they're caught in the Shock or Poison Purr-isons (Poison Purr-ison is an Assist palico lvl20 ability)! Been a huge help in hunts when a monster hops into a palico trap while it's ready to be tranq'd!!

[@nickq8093]

One more i think deserves a mention is summeown endemic life. Makes the cat put down an incense burner that attracts wirebugs to it, allowing you to maintain that 3rd wirebug for those weapon types who get big damage 2 wirebug silkbind moves

[@matthewmuir8884]

Agreed; that one is definitely very useful.

[@MythicalMonk3y]

I love seeing my little buddy stop mid fight to water the healing plant. lol

[@gamrage]

For palicos and palamutes. I don't find their damage to be prominent enough to validate the general damage boost skills. It's a bit better to give them skills that increase their probability of interrupting or impairing the monsters. Knockout King, Status Attack Up. I also prefer them having resistances to the more annoying status effects like Sleep, Paralyze or Stun. That way, they can help your character if you ever get hit by those moves yourself.

[@TheDorkgetreal]

Out of all the games out, monster hunter rise is thus far the most fun game I've played all year. It's not a bunch of sweats trying to outclass one another and not difficult to play. Tons of content and these buddies are awesome! Playing solo is awarding and playing with groups is always fun. Atm this game is in my number 1 spot.

[@kevinhoward821]

absolutely agree with everything you said

[@jib4622]

with how similar the Support Move and skill systems are to the ones in Generations, I hope that they revamp and bring back Prowler Mode in Rise's expansion (as unlikely as it is).

[@Axryuu]

I know Palamutes aren't as deep as palicoes, but it would be cool to see this kind of video for them and also one that shows all the skills like in this video, not only the better ones, is hilarious to see them do their moves, since rarely we see them in combat

[@Drischa]

Also look out for sum-meown endemic life, it almost always gives you an extra wirebug which can be super valuable for mobility and having your silkbinds up more often

[@Noxusbeast43]

4:23 "I love the giga Bombay ability, its always a blast when you see it happen". Huh never would've guessed

[@ToastMallows]

Just my preference (similar to the video's advice) but I've been collecting Gathering palicos with: Endemic life barrage Healing Bubble Power Drum Shock Purr-ison Pilfer Then I like to have Status Attack up and Knockout King if possible because I'm having them use Sleep/Blunt weapons. As a GS main the extra chance for Stun, Exhaustion and Sleep+Wake up are really nice for landing consistent big hits. If you're running a Status weapon or a stunning weapon I imagine it can really lead to extra procs.

[@ssj4mathgenius]

Omg that bomb move of the Palicos is amazing! I haven't even been paying much attention to the palico move-list and how each is that different. Definitely gonna look for that skill now!

[@JEL625]

Favorite palico move is easily the endemic life barrage. I main charge blade and a free sleep ailment often equates to a free stun with impact or and insane wake up with element. The paralysis cloud does nearly the same but usually let's me get into sawblade mode, spinning ax, for some massive damage or part breaks.

[@dbIdARiUsIdb]

4:25, we catching those, "a blast"

[@-vtvl-1033]

#1: Pilfer #2: Power Drum #3: Skills - (Any Attack Up) #4: Shock Purr-ison #5: Giga Barrel Bombay - (Bombardier) Rousing Roar - (Fighter) Endemic Life Barrage - (Gathering)

[@ivaldi13]

Noah, the resident palico expert from MHGU, here to put my stamp of approval for my hunting community on this, along with an addendum of my own: In MHGU, the damage from palicoes was largely insignificant, and status options ranged from a bit subpar to just trash. Optimal skills therefore focused primarily on support uptime, i.e. Support Boost, Counter Boost, the various immunity skills, and Artful Dodger. The AI and, presumed by observations thus far, attack rate is *significantly* improved in MHRise, so Arekkz's recommendations of offensive skills are very much worth considering. It'll take a lot more time/datamining to accrue enough data to choose more objectively. At the very least, it stands to reason that Status Attack Up is much more valuable than it was previously.

[@StrictlyGaming_1]

Another reason why i enjoy having Palicos with me during the hunts! You guys are the best this is very helpful! :)

[@timeforgottenprince8271]

I remember that giga barrel bomb in MHGen; at the end of the quest, I would pull one out to send any nearby hunter flying, as the bomb goes off just after the hunter finishes their victory pose when the quest ends.

[@aeraneth]

Came here to learn tips, also learned you could change the color of the forest cat layer?? Incredible. (Great video btw, glad to know my inherent greed in first choosing a gathering palico pays off in the long run)

[@Jfree7791]

I like the endemic life summon ability as well. That extra wirebug is fun to have

[@koschke3909]

I luv the life bubble skill thingy, saved me a few times already and every class can do them so ✨👍🏻

[@near237]

Took me a while to roll the perfect palico. Gatherer with Stamina Up, Atk Up, Shock Trap all with Status atk up etc.

[@ASUR90]

I don't think it's stamina up, more like it's less reducing. So I think there might be a better second slot skill or?

[@danielkiss7215]

There’s a skill exclusive to healer type palicoes, called Medic’s touch. Basically you get more health back from palico placed heal items. Always welcomed with a tanky GS

[@BurningLance2]

thats not an Healer exclusive btw i have it on an Assist cat with zero healing moves btw

[@Stulele]

Found a good Kitty: Gathering Endemic Life Barrage Healing bubble power Drum Shock Purr-ison Pilfer Status Attack up Knock out king

[@lamdog24]

That's what I'm trying to find!

[@Wachalpharoh]

My bombardier Palico has been fantastic for me during my village and hub runs. Best support type in my honest opinion. I don’t mind grinding a bit more for farming if it means I get to blow more stuff up lol.

[@matthewmuir8884]

I'm still early in the game, but I love the palico skill where the palico summons a wirebug that the player can grab and use. Having a third wirebug is always great for fighting monsters and exploration, so having your buddy summon one for you in the middle of a fight is very useful.

[@alberttron88]

the poison trap on palico is better than shock imo. insta-poison and pit-fall

[@ParadiseCentral]

Hey, The poison trap is great however its exclusive for the assist palico! So you could have an assist palico with with shock and poison traps which is awesome, but would miss out on other class skills like pilfer/roar/endemic barrage

[@alberttron88]

@@ParadiseCentral ah the more ya know. Ty

[@MrGhosta5]

Really love Go, Fight, Win! for basically infinite stamina poison pur-ision is the only way ingame to get the poison pitfall trap. shock pur-ision is literally just a shock trap. shock traps are just trap tools which are cheep to buy and shock bugs which you can just send buddies to collect for you. you can also fast travel back to camp most of the time to get more traps from the box or just keep shock bugs and trap tools in your pouch and set them to autocraft. so flash bombay or shock tripper would probably be a better 4th skill. for some reason plunderang got renamed to pilfer which doesn't make sense as plunderang and pilfer have existed as different palico skills for several games.

[@pockystyx4087]

Anti-Monster Mine has really come in handy during Rampage quests. Adding the guaranteed stun, and good damage to slow down hordes works pretty well. Hell; I've even had it throw off monsters during their super attacks. Nothing funnier than the monster knocking themselves down when trying to do something cool.

[@luck3971]

I run 2 gather palicos for double the plunder. Both with status up but one equipped with sleep and the other with paralysis. “Go, fight, win” in first slot for stamina buff. Power drum and sumeow endemic life in second for buff and free wirebug in second. And shock trap in third.

[@ZanderBander]

Super useful, and can't wait to see a palute version

[@kryptofreak4059]

I got super lucky with my default palico, she's a gathering palico with Endemic Life Barrage, Healing Bubble, Shock Purr-ison, and Pilfer

[@twoinchrpinchr6040]

That's my palico setup too, wasn't my default but got it early on low rank

[@Nodexis]

Dude same !!!

[@gerard5776]

amazing video. didnt know all these skills

[@XiloTheOdd]

so best fighter cat for support, Rousing roar and power drum, healing bubble, either flash bombay or shock purison, get him skills not to increase its damage further, but to make it so it wont get interrupted by the target (earplugs, tremor, wind, etc.) with maybe attack large or health large. thats your ideal buff cat. heck maybe furbiddin acorn so it wont die for a bit while it buffs you.

[@michaelt1154]

This video is perfect for the time Don't wanna invest to heavy without the right skills. Great video guys.. hope there is a doggo video coming

[@darrylwillie9256]

I'm only using gathering palico for hunts, meowcenaries and argosy. Definitely gives you a lot of materials during hunts when you have the pilfer skill 🎉

[@projectembrace]

Yall should make a video on all the ramp up skills

[@xNeo7749x]

Every palico has a main ability and the ult how I would call it... So I can't get an giga barrel Bombay on my gathering palico as far as I know... So in case of gathering type endemic life and pilfer will not change at all. But the other ability are free to get eondamly by any cat. That is a sing I noticed by now. Unless I'm wrong so correct me please 😅

[@rumotu]

I play with gathering palico as my main buddy. And boy he is such a great help got lucky with skills on him when creating, don't even need other buddies, which make me feel bad for them.

[@fire_mutt7251]

Summeown Endemic life seems to have good potential if you're using a weapon where you spam wirebug attacks: much more consistently you can stay at 3 wirebugs.

[@nbkchaosseph9066]

Great video. What's the fastest method to level up buddy? By hunting with them or sent them to buddy plaza training rounds?

[@edgeman04]

I really need to work on some Palico stuff, I'm still using my first Palico and haven't messed with him too much.

[@Kitteh328]

Do you have any opinion on which is the overall best type of Palico? as in Figher/Gatherer/Bombardier etc

[@Vulcanfaux]

I'm using a bomber cat with the tops power drum and flash Bombay. It also has artful dodger and ranged attack up. And critical s. I been loving this load out for it. I could have also gone for shock tripper instead of flash bomb, but to be honest I like that flash bomb more since I'm using the hunting horn. I do want a fighter cat later with shock tripper, but ill worry about that later.

[@firstswordcorvus7368]

I started the game with the gathering palico cause I figured it would have pilfer just like GU. The endemic life skill has saved me from dying as well as saved me time multiple times

[@noahbernstein5536]

I have a Gatherer and a Support Palico bot with Healing Bubbles, Monster Mine and Shocktrap and as passive Status+ and Kockout King ;) Best Moveset for me because all my Palicos use status weapons also status+ boost the first skill of the Gather Palico. I think going for an explosive build and jusing a Bombarider Palico with all that explosive skills. By the way a side tip. There is a command for Palicos its the Felvine you can use this command once per quest. When u use it your Palico goes in rage modus for a while and boost his stats e.t.c and also it will use more of the skills.

[@vpv874]

that's why i always have 2 palicos 1 healer and 1 fighter or gatherer. i change the 2nd palico depends if i am farming materials or just hunting monsters

[@Darthforce122]

Is the buddy skills only for the buddies or does it apply to ur hunter aswell like for example does my attack up large increase my attack as a hunter or no?

[@lexan2002]

I love my gathering palico with endemic life barrage. I have gotten some juicy SAED's off of a sleep toad barrage. NOw i just need the perfect gathering palico with go fight win, power drum and the thunder blight field with status up passive, then i will love him till .... something better gets found lol

[@kal2103]

Shock tripper or purr-ision? One inficlts thunder blight and the other one inflicts poison. Which one is better?

Depends on your weapon. Status weapons can't usually KO and KO weapons aren't great at status, so you can cover your weakness either way.
