Palico or Palamute on multiplayer hunts?

[Mazzle Dazzle]

What is your preference and why?

I used to only take palamutes but the more I play the more I see just how powerful the palicos are for support. What are your thoughts?

i use the cute doggos for movement smacking the bushes with the dog is a whole lot faster the a weapon.
but the cats are good for farming if you have a gather one

but i prefer the Palamutes

This comes up about once a week it feels like. But, here is one of the longer discussions.

Thank you, I didn't realize I was reposting.

palicos have much better effects - thunderblight, statuses, wirebugs, healing, flash bombs I swear are coded to explode only when a monster is airborne, and Rousing Roar and Power Drum are amazing free damage, but palamutes are less intrusively powerful aside from a sleep or para proc or something. The former for power, the latter for convenience and focusing purely on your own play.

That was my thought. It defaulted to the palamute and I never bothered changing it but with palicos they use all kinds of support stuns and things which really help.
I never really made a good build with them but someone recently suggested a blunt palamute stuns a lot so now I'm really curious what is best. I like sharpening while riding but I don't think its really necessary as imo it probably only gives a few seconds of time but if palimutes function better with stunning with blunt, I might have to rethink my choices.

My Palico brought me over 10 gems since I recruited her around 20 hours ago. Can your Palamute do that too?

Here are two examples of how it looks like

palico has more utility, doggo more damage and status afaik.
using palicos atm to level all to 50 for the achievement, but i guess i go back to palamutes after the last one. in the end both dont matter much.

I am not entirely against Palamutes. I just love the utility you have from Palicoes. Whether it is reliable heal, or surpreme support during Rampage. They hardly ever stop to amaze me.

And whether it is Palamute or Palico - it just looks so brutally cool when a monster charges on you and you see a buddy from the side knocking the monster down before it reaches you. If you want some suggestions on the skills and moves ~ check out my tips for beginners at the guide section. I have the feeling what you find there might be worth your time.

Definitely will check it out. I mostly have been listening to youtube videos while driving to work and going through a real guide will be helpful. Thank you!

I would be happy if it turns out to be helpful to you ~ though it is no real guide. More a wild collection of tips and tricks for beginners. In fact: I specialise in stuff which is not obvious. Other guides seem to cover what is already known from the ingame tutorial or just straightforward walkthroughs. I am trying ~ something different.

Well, it can have disadvantages when you are not alone. That is true.
