Schedule and Roadmap
MEOW LIMIT! was made available for hire through Iori the Buddy Handler under the Hire a Special Buddy option. It is available to claim starting January 21, 2022. Don't forget to claim MEOW LIMIT! from Senri the Mailman first!
 MEOW LIMIT! |
Skill Name | Slots Required |
|---|---|
| Health Up (L) | 2 |
| Defense Up | 1 |
| Omniresistance | 1 |
| Artful Dodger | 2 |
| Negate Poison | 1 |
| Negate Stun | 2 |
| Negate Tremor | 1 |
| Earplugs | 2 |
| MEOW LIMIT!'s Equipped Moves | |
|---|---|
| Move | Effect |
| Herbaceous Healing | Places a plant with restorative powers that continuously heals any nearby allies. |
| Healing Bubble | Creates bubbles that pop and provide healing when touched. Bigger bubbles heal more. |
| Vase of Vitality | Places a vase that heals various status ailments. Stand in the smoke to receive its effects. |
| Furbidden Acorn | Heals a Buddy and temporarily prevents loss of its health. |
| Health Horn | Greatly recovers Buddy and player health. |
MEOW LIMIT! is great for hunters who are looking for the perfect healer Palico, with all of its moves being of the healing-type. All of its skills are also extremely defensive, so if you're looking to beef up your defenses, MEOW LIMIT! is a great candidate!
| MHC Palamute | Yasu |
|---|---|
 |
 |
Both Buddies are now available for hire through the Buddy Handler under Hire a Special Buddy option. These Buddies were released on December 24, 2021.
 MHC Palamute |
|
|---|---|
| Skill Name | Slots Required |
| Health Up (S) | 1 |
| Health U (L) | 2 |
| Attack Up (S) | 1 |
| Attack Up (L) | 2 |
| Ranged Attack Up | 2 |
| Element Attack Up | 2 |
| Status Attack Up | 3 |
| Knockout King | 1 |
Do not let MHC Palamute slip by your radar. If you level it up and unlock all its skills and memory slots, you can easily turn it into an offense-focused Palamute with skills such Attack Up (S), Attack Up (L), and Elemental Attack Up.
 Yasu |
Skill Name | Slots Required |
|---|---|
| Health Up (S) | 1 |
| Health Up (L) | 2 |
| Attack Up (S) | 1 |
| Attack Up (L) | 2 |
| Defense Up | 1 |
| Omni Resistance | 1 |
| Knockout King | 1 |
| Medic's Touch | 1 |
| Yasu's Equipped Moves | |
|---|---|
| Move | Effect |
| Rousing Roar | Lets loose a fearsome roar, empowering Buddies and hunters. |
| Whirlwind Assault | Spins around using weapon to create a whirlwind, then rams into monster. |
| Power Drum | Sounds a drum that raises attack and defense for both hunters and Buddies. |
| Fleet-foot Feat | Draws a monster's attention, skillfully evades their attack, then mounts a counter attack. |
| Furr-ious | Your Palico becomes fur-ious. In this state, their attack power increases drastically. |
Yasu is easily the frontrunner for a fight-type Palico, its skills and equipped moves, once unlocked, make a great offense-focused Palico much like MHC Palamute.
This is definitely a tough one. Not only that you have to defeat 3 Apex Monsters, but you will have to slay them using a pre-built set! Think you can face an Apex Zinogre, an Apex Mizutsune and an Apex Diablos? Then go get 'em, starting December 24, 2021!
Do not miss these additional gifts from the Monster Hunter Rise team! Selling the five Golden Eggs could yield upto 100,000 zennies. That's easy money for you!
