Temperature effects do not affect you in Prowler mode.Armor/Power charms and talons work, despite the Palicos not having access to items.Palicos can run with their weapon out! After a dodge, you’ll notice your cat will be running around - make sure this is always the case! If you’re walking around like a slowpoke, do a quick dodge to be able to maneuver around the battlefield faster.When your cat gets the angry red marks, your attack is buffed! Go all out!.Palicos can KO monsters and sever tails.If you’re building a cat that prefers boomerangs (the “meta,” as it were), you need to get a weapon that’s equipped to deal out the damage! It’s also a great idea to get a weapon with elemental damage Palicos put out a lot of hits, and more hits means more status effects. Some weapons are balanced between the two, many are not. As you begin to develop what type of Palico and abilities you want, keep it in your mind that you can scout one that is missing a single ability from your wishlist and that’s okay.Īs for weapons, be sure to check out the melee and ranged damage numbers. Each Palico will have its own set of Moves and Skills (more on that in a bit) and can lean one more through cat-to-cat training. In addition, each village tends to prefer a certain type of Palico when it scouts: Bherna finds more balanced Palicos, Pokke finds healing, Yukumo finds support, and Kokoto finds attack-based Palicos. If you’re looking for a Palico with a certain ability combination, check each village. It takes one mission for a new list of Palicos to be scouted, and each village has their own set of scouted Palicos. So if you want to play as a Gathering Palico (or just have one by your side), select that type! Here, you can select what type of Palico to scout. This can be done at any village, by either the Meowstress in the Palico Ranch or the Grandmeows (aww) at the other villages. This is very important, so pay attention! The way to acquire a Palico is to scout one. Going into Beast Mode and pulling off combos looks so badass! This cat also has the unique ability to level up Beast Mode by pulling off successful combos (up to level three), further rewarding smart play. Personally, I’ve been playing a lot of Beast Prowler and loving it.

This is a very basic overview of what each type specializes in (as if the names weren’t obvious enough), and there is plenty of content about how each type plays on the Internet already. Beast – Can go into Beast Mode, gaining Mind’s Eye (attacks are not deflected) and providing a bunch of new combos.Gathering – Can make monsters drop extra items.Bombing – Faster gauge filling and extra bomb damage.Healing – Plays an extra doot when using healing horns (heals for more).Assisting – Great at boomerang attacks and using traps.Protection – Won’t receive any damage from blocking attacks, and blocking raises your ability gauge.Fighting – Obviously more damage oriented, with skills to dish out the damage.
