Since this Palico’s focus is trapping, you want to maximize its ability to use trap-based Support Moves. There’s a lot of synergy here, but let’s cover the Support Moves first.
#MH GEN GOOD BOMBER CAT PRO#
Palico Skills: Support Boost, Pro Trapper Support Moves: Poison Purr-ison, Emergency Escape, “Go, Fight, Win”, Pitfall Purr-ison, Shock Purr-ison Target: Any (although I prefer large first) It helps you get the most out of your Boomerang Cat and makes it so you don’t have to waste five support gauge bars on using a trap. Puns aside, I stand by this build as one of the best options for a support Palico.


#MH GEN GOOD BOMBER CAT FREE#
Prowler’s have free and unlimited Tranq-Bombs*** ***IF YOU WANT TO TRAP A MONSTER INSTEAD OF KILL IT, TRAP IT, THEN APPROACH IT WITH YOUR WEAPON SHEATHED AND PRESS A. Its utility is unmatched, and if you’re using a Fighting cat, just have an Assisting cat pass it on at the Dojo. It costs 1 bar of the support gauge, gives you invincibility during the entire animation, heals you, and lets you escape underground to safety for as long as you like. Earplugs is a nice skill to have if you can get it, because it will let you get in some free attacks while a Monster is screaming in your face.Įmergency Exit is an insane ability. Boomerang Pro increases Boomerang attack speed and reduces charge time. Attack Up (L) increases your damage output (Attack Up L unlocks at Level 15, so, use Attack Up S until Level 10 then Critical Up S until Level 15).

These two abilities stack and are the bread and butter of this build!Īs for Palico Skills, Attack Up (L) and Boomerang Pro are absolutely essential. Piercing Boomerangs cost 2 bars of the Support Gauge to use and makes it so that your boomerangs go through monsters and hits them multiple times. It increases the size of your boomerangs as well as their damage output. Big Boomerangs only takes 1 bar of the Support Gauge to use. Palico Skills: Attack Up (S/L), Boomerang Pro, Critical Up (S), EarplugsĪlright, so, the Assisting Support bias builds the Support Gauge the more you use boomerangs to attack – so naturally, it’s the best choice for this build if you prefer utility over pure damage. Support Moves: Poison Purr-ison, Emergency Escape, Big Boomerangs, Piercing Boomerangs, Mega Boomerang, Dung Bombay, Shock Purr-ison Weapon: High Elemental Damage, High Boomerang Damage Support Bias: Assisting (if you want utility) or Fighting (if you want to bring the pain) First, here’s what you should look for when you’re scouting Palicoes (items listed in Italics are nice to have, but not necessities): No other build matches up to its damage output and utility. It is also said to be the only Palico worth investing in if you are going to make use of Prowler Mode – and I largely agree, if you’re looking for effectiveness. The Boomerang Cat is the most popular Prowler build in Japan. So, let me introduce the builds I used and why I think they’re worth investing in early on. In reality though, the Prowler really is a weapon and a very powerful one if you build it right! The Demo’s Prowler build focuses on KO damage and maximizing the Prowler’s effectiveness with Blunt Weapons, but there are better ways to tap into the power of the Prowler. It started as snarky joke because the Prowler filled the weapon selection screen’s final slot in the game’s demo. In Japan, Prowler has been colloquially referred to as Monster Hunter’s 15 th Weapon.
