Palicos are Underrated and here's why

  • Palicos are a cute and comedic partner for hunts in Monster Hunter, but it may seem like they don't contribute that much to the hunt. I think that Palicos are underrated and, if equipped for the hunts you want them to do a lot on, they provide more value for you than you think. Take a watch on my thoughts about Palicos and how you can utilize them in powerful ways to succeed on hunts more often.
    In this video I'll show you all the gadgets Palicos can equip and how you can use them properly in hunts. I'll also talk about armor and weapons combinations that make for good hunt tactics that compliment the weapons you're using.
    Also, if you need a hand in Monster Hunter World or have questions about how to play, jump in my Discord server! I'll give you hand on hunts and answer all your questions :D

    Something else about Palicoes in World is that they get a TON of HP compared to Hunters. At max level, they can get around 500, while you only cap out at 200. This means they can, with full health and rank-appropriate armor, tank stuff that no Hunter can, like Safi'jiva's and Alatreon's ultimate attacks.

    The choral orchestra can give you 15% flat damage boost, 15% affinity, which is super duper op and it also can give stun resistance can cure poison, increase health recovery, decrease stamina comsumption which for some of them is game changer.

      Coral Orchestra has been my fave, constiantly getting health regen+ stam regen as well as stun res and ear plugs (small) with the 15% atk up and 15% affinity is nuts imo. That and the Coral Sonicboom staggering monsters makes everything else feel a little underwhelming. I always make sure to run it for my AT hunts. Also if you already play HH your song extenders work on the Coral buffs as well. It's like having a mini HH main with you all the time.

Hell, they are known for being so bad ass that they stand directly under Safi's ultimate dealing demage to it even as they are blasted with pure energy...

    Palicoes by default has a 50% chance of knocking you out of a stun or paralysis. Theres a mod that if you are okay with modding, can be useful in raising the chance to 90%. So the palicoes doesn't stand and stare at you sometimes and has a higher chance of saving you from that chance of carting.

      Honestly, even for close quarter weapons, the difference it provides is massive. A monster is particularly overwhelming with its attack patterns? No problem give yourself some time to recoup. It’s particularly good for wallbangs when a monster is a little too mobile and I find it a must run against, say, raging brachy. The one downside is that the moves are harder to predict because it’s just selecting moves at random to hit the shieldspire.

    The Wildspire Stooge is literally the best late game tool in the game. Your palico will almost always open with the max level palico gadget technique, so when you can let the palico put up one stooge automatically, then use the manual whistle to put up another stooge. The stooge takes higher aggro than the hunter by default, and you can go several minutes straight without a monster targeting you. It's especially useful on high mobility monsters that usually move around a lot.

    Having the 100% of the monster’s aggro taken up for 210 seconds every 60sec between the basic and 2⭐️ ability is a game changer. Bonus if your duo runs it on their pelico aswell. You can sharpen, heal, buff, get a trap ready, really anything you want while either ability is up. You can also have them be a mobile hammer with its 1⭐️ while your decoys and drum cool down, which usually gets the KO while active. It’s basically a permanent CC.

    Palicos have always been amazing. Played since 4u. you can customize the hell outta them there. they pull aggro, you can slap status on them for extra DAMAGE, usually in every game they are in you can get 2 of them at once when soloing(you can trade your palimute in in rise for a second palico) and theres the entire recruiting system in 4u, and with world the entire questline to befriend the boaboa to unlock the ability to summon a second palico(grimalkyne) whenevs. (or you can go to their place instantly when you have enough levels with the type of cat and grab a specific one when you want) i.e teleporting to the shieldspire palicos(grimalkynes) in wildspire.
    Befriending the gajalaka in world unlocks a bunch of warps around elder's recess definitely worth it, also unlocks a chance for them to spawn with explosives which will attack anything and even down elders. Befriending the boaboa also unlocks this but with them spamming spears.

      Many monsters will attack wildly while flashed, so they may suddenly charge in a different direction while you’re fighting.
      Stooge has them do the same, but you know exactly where.
      Sure, boom and shock are good, but have diminishing returns, and only last a few seconds. I’ve had several stooges last an entire ‘area’, with the monster leaving before the stooge fell. And since you have effectively two stooges, and as the OP said, they’re likely to start with it as well, you can have entire runs even against kushala and the like where they barely target you.

    Shieldspire palico is not just useful for gunners, it also allows long gunlance users to set up WSB and do charge shelling more consistently (it takes a while for charged shelling to pop) while the dummy and the palico pull the monster's aggro. Sure palicoes will take some hit by default, but the shield makes them last longer.
    Outside that, I can see why its appeal doesn't fit with other weapons or playstyles.
    Putting that in F tier is a tad cruel for its benefits and use-case IMO. If anything I'd put that in D tier. Situational but not that horrendous.

  • @TheRealXartaX
    @TheRealXartaX 6 місяців тому +1

    The best gadgets are shieldspire, plunder blade and meowlotov.
    Shieldspire provides the best CC. Plunder blade provides the best loot, meowlotov provides the best damage.
    If you struggle, go with shieldspire. If you don't, go with meowlotov to increase the kill speed. If you want loot, go with plunder blade.
    Wasp is only really good for learning fights since it gives you some extra tries without taking aggro from you.
    The flash fly suffers from several issues. As mentioned the elder dragon problem. But also things like the electric trap having diminishing return (and if you kill it so fast that isn't an issue, you're better off going with Meowlotov anyways). Shieldspire provides equally good CC except it works all the time, and your cat will never run out of HP.
    Coral is okay but Meowlotov just does more if you want kill speed. And if you are getting hit you're probably better off with other options. I guess it kinda does a little bit of everything (besides extra loot), though.
    Also if you're soloing and level the tribes, you get an item in iceborne that lets you summon an additional cat and a monster to help you out so you essentially got a full party without having to faff around. They're obviously not as good as players, but they still provide a decent amount of value and the monster stays at solo levels of HP.
    As for weapons, sleep is the best one unless you got one yourself. Just plop some bombs on it and wake up hit for massive damage. I do not recommend stacking the same statuses like some people say, like blast. Sure it triggers faster, but you got diminishing return so it'll also just stop working faster. Also you can ping to make the cat come to you if you need help to get out of stuns etc. (although this can backfire if the monster is pummeling the monster). If you cover all the CC statuses yourself (e.g. coatings) I'd probably just put whatever element the monster is weak against on it for extra meowlotov damage.

    Shieldspire deserves to be waay higher, at least B rank. The stooge keeps aggro pretty consistently meaning you have some breathing room to sharpen, heal, buff or go for the tail. Just have to make sure to not get hit by any attacks meant for the stooge.
    The flashfly cage is great but its crippled hard late game since it barely effects elder dragons, which takes a full letter grade off imho

    If you're running a ranged build, the Shieldspire Stooge is actually pretty great for a damage spike, since it's a good period of time where you know exactly where the monster will be. It's pretty good against monsters who jump around a lot, or even Elder Dragons, since they're immune to traps. All the tools are useful, you just need to know how to use them, and if you coordinate with other players, you can always have an extra healer, DPS booster, extra damage, and traps.

  • @meikahidenori

    Palicos are definitely under rated, especially the prowlers in Generations and GU. People think they're an easy mode but no, they have a TON of customisation and can be like any other weapon, as easy or complex as you choose. When I had to wait for Rise (as World wouldn't work on my pc) I played all weapons in runs and THEN did all Prowler type runs. The different prowlers changed how I took on monsters in each run just like the main weapons did. You can make some seriously crazy teams with them.

    Now review on the local cats would be:
    God Tier : Gajalaka and Boa Boa, they are just pure menace and no bullshit. Tons of HP and deal damage or status
    Helpful Tier : Plunderer gives you almost guaranteed 3-4 more loots per monster, combined with your own Palico's Plunderblade you'll get tons of materials. Also as they don't really make monster drops trade-in items, you can focus on collecting what really matters: materials
    Quite Helpful Tier : Trouper gives you buffs ... though sometimes get hit a lot while doing that.
    Almost Helpful Tier : Bugtrapper's traps won't work on Elder Dragons, beside maybe the flashbug. Also they have little HP as well, not to sturdy.
    Sad Tier : Shieldbearer will take on monster attacks for you ... but they live in a place where Diablos and Black Diablos also live. Tanking their attacks, the Shieldbearer would be done pretty quick without you even realize it

They lure the monster towards themselves so you can heal. They also down the monsters sometimes which is super useful. Also when I get stunned or fall asleep the hit me to wake me up.

    Hello i've been wondering something for quite a while now, do their gadgets actually apply weapon elemental effects ? I've been using the plunderblade recently to farm parts and a lot of the times whenever I ask him to plunder, at the exact timing he hit's the boss with a boomerang, his plunderblade spinning attack or sometimes even when he's mounted on the monster hitting his head, he paralyses them. Which got me wondering if the mount ability from the plunderblade applies a lot of paralysis stacks ? (for fights where he did 1-2 paralysis he now does 2-3 easely). Anyone know ?

    My Palicos, Coconut (my main's) and Cross (my alt's), are MVPs. No matter the gadget you give them they give it their all. Coconut especially is super flexible and he's saved my butt way too many times to not owe him a shoutout. Here's why.
    Vigorwasp? You're basically immortal unless you really screw up and even then you get a free redo with vigorwasp revive.
    Shieldspire? You're never targeted, get free heal windows and far more consistent pressure alleviation, and is a severing weapon's best friend. Free tail attacks let's go!
    Flashfly Cage? Great for capturing on a budget, flying wyvern kryptonite, and is entirely within your control of when these gadgets go off.
    Coral Orchestra? Free hunting horn teammate without needing to roll 777's to get one on your team. Also what buffs the Palico's AI picks is scarily smart.
    Plunderblade? Nearly halve your farming time and say goodbye to ever being short on zeni again. But overall the weakest past base midgame and early Iceborne.
    Meowlotolv? Now you're the support role while who was supposed to be _your_ support does 4.5k damage a gadget use.
    On top of that, depending on the gear you give them, they become amazing status inflictors or flat out DPS machines.
