||
| Rarity | Melee Dmg | Ranged Dmg |
|---|---|---|
| 9 | 225 | 255 |
| Affinity | Element | Defense Bonus |
| ー | Paralysis 16 | ー |
| A Gathering Palico's most prominent role in the field is inflicting Blights and statuses at monsters, thanks to its Buddy Move Endemic Life Barrage. With F Jelly Shade X equipped, it is possible to immobilize a monster more than once per hunt. |
Felyne Majestic Set
 Felyne Majestic Set |
||
|---|---|---|
| Defense | Fire | Water |
| 490 | -4 | 10 |
| Thunder | Ice | Dragon |
| 0 | 0 | -4 |
| Felyne Valstrax - Eclipse Set is one of the most powerful armor sets for Palicoes currently in-game because of its high defense stat, overatking the Felyne Valstrax - Eclipse Set in Title Update 5. You need to reach MR10 and defeat Amatsu to get this armor set. |
Buddy Skills
| List of Buddy Skills | ||
|---|---|---|
| Slots | Skill Name | Description |
| 1 |
Melee-Centric (Lv.35 Attack) |
Prioritizes melee attacks, making them slightly more powerful. (Doesn't stack with Ranged-Centric) |
| 2 |
Attack Up (L) (Lv.15 Attack) |
Greatly increases attack. (Will stack) |
| 2 |
Support-Centric (Lv.40 Support) |
Makes it easier to trigger Support Moves and Palamute Gear, but attack and defense are reduced. |
| 3 |
Status Attack Up (Lv.20 Attack) |
Increases the potency of abnormal status attacks. |
| Having Status Attack Up and Support-Centric on your Gathering Palico will allow it to easily build up Paralysis while attacking your target. Since Paralysis buildup relies on the weapon, include Melee-Centric to force your Palico to keep using melee attacks. |
Buddy Moves
| Recommended Buddy Moves | ||
|---|---|---|
| Move | Lv. | Effect |
 Endemic Life Barrage |
1 | Fires endemic life at monsters from a ballista. Results vary according to launched creatures. |
 Healing Bubble |
5 | Creates bubbles that pop and provide healing when touched. Bigger bubbles heal more. |
 Summeown Endemic Life |
10 | Places a fragrant pouch that entices nearby endemic life to approach. |
 Shock Tripper |
15 | Drops a lingering electric field that inflicts thunderblight on monsters within it. |
 Pilfer |
20 | A boomerang attack that steals materials from monsters. |
| Recommended Secret Support Move | ||
 Lottery Box |
A lottery box containing scrolls. When a scroll is drawn, a random support move will be performed. | |
| Your main goal in bringing a Gathering Palico in your hunts with this build is for it to proc statuses on monsters at least twice if possible. If you can, equip Shock Tripper to increase the chance of your Palico stunning a monster with its equipped blunt weapon! |
Builds and Best Equipment for Palicoes
Palamute
Elemental Weapons
| Element | Weapon |
|---|---|
| Fire | C Rathalos Sword X |
| Water | C Almudron Wings X |
| Thunder | C Thunderblade |
| Ice | C Daora's Scythe X |
| Dragon | C Crimson Eclipse Sword |
Weapon choice is fairly straightfoward for the melee build as we'll be focusing on maximizing elemental damage. These should go well with the Dual-Bladed Chain which received a buff to elemental attack scaling.
Canyne Majestic Set
 Canyne Majestic Set |
||
|---|---|---|
| Defense | Fire | Water |
| 490 | -4 | 10 |
| Thunder | Ice | Dragon |
| 0 | 0 | -4 |
| The Canyne Majestic set has the highest defense in the game. It has great Water resistance and neutral resistance against Thunder and Ice, making it a fair choice for an endgame set. For an alternative, we recommend the C Sinister Grudge set to complement it and round out resistances. |
Recommended Palamute Gear
| Gear Name | Rationale |
|---|---|
 Dual-Bladed Chain |
Version 13 buffs the damage of the Dual-Bladed Chain, notably elemental damage, making it our first pick for the build. You'll ideally want your Palamutes to abuse their Windmill-like move while it's active by using moves like the Hammer's Courage moves or the Gunlance's Hail Cutter. |
 Blitz Scroll |
The Blitz Scroll raises your Palamute's attack speed while active. It's a great DPS boost while the Dual-Bladed Chain is also being used. |
 Guarding Parasol |
The Guarding Parasol also received buffs in Version 13, but not to the degree of the Dual-Bladed Chain. Use this gear if you'd rather have defensive Palamutes, but don't expect similar damage. |
Recommended Palamute Skills
| Skill Name | Type | Level | Slots | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Attack Up (S) | Attack | 5 | 1 | Increases attack. (Will stack) |
| Artful Dodger | Defense | 10 | 2 | Increases the likelihood of blocking and deflecting attacks. |
| Element Attack Up | Attack | 15 | 2 | Increases the power of elemental attacks. |
| Melee-Centric | Attack | 35 | 1 | Prioritizes melee attacks, making them slightly more powerful. (Doesn't stack with Ranged-Centric) |
| Counter | Attack | 40 | 2 | Causes a counter when a block or deflection succeeds. |
As your Palamutes must stick close to monsters to maximize melee damage, we can improve their survivability with Artful Dodger and Counter. Melee-Centric is also required, so the Dual-Bladed Chain is used to its fullest. The other skills were picked to boost damage.
Make sure to set your Palamute behavior to Basic since this lets them get close to monsters.
