hinoa and minito npc = easy mode ?

[Buurt]

Soo I never really used npcs but now I tested hinoa + minito both with HH and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥'s like impossible to die anymore.
It's fun to just be that strong and don't need to do online hunts but damn I have to laugh how easy this game gets with npcs

[shit owl]

i think luchika+hinoa is better tbh more consistent damage from luchika

[Ittrix]

Luchika seems to have good part break damage.
Not sure her DPS is amazing, but I've never checked much.
If you're using the gibberish language then she also commonly screams "Da Baby!" Which hurts or is funny.

Hinoa is a healbot, and anyone with a horn is a buff bot.

They are the best support NPC imo , give both of them Hunting Horn and watch all kind of buff they give you . In fact thank to them i start to lose faith in random online , how could they lose to 2 bots....

Followers do really bad damage, but I did hear that Luchika's sticky shots do get their full damage so I guess she can actually deal at least some damage. Though you should keep in mind that the stickies will wake up monsters.

But yeah you're right, those 2 are a very good combination. Although you probably shouldn't take Minoto when playing Lance so you actually get your Offensive Guard and that silkbind counter to work.

i really like minoto, if the hunt is longer than 9 minute she will start go around the map picking monster and mount them and bring em to you

[kampfer91]

Rodine and her sister also prove useful , less than the wyverian twin though , they plant trap , use flash bomb and a lot item .

Avoid the Admiral and Arlow combination though...

[CookedMeat]

Well if you're still in the early game yes...

The game's difficulty isn't in surviving a monster, but not dying to unexpected accidental one/two-shots.

You have enough tools to survive easy monsters' basic attacks, but if you got too careless they might catch you off guard.

They do reduced damage, but full partbreak and KO damage, which is huge.

Oh that's pretty nice then. Though I still don't think it's really worth it to pick others than HH characters. Or are some characters with weapons like LS actually good at breaking parts? I feel like most of the weapon types are pretty pointless on followers.

I usually go with Luchika and hunting horn Utsushi because of the offence buffs or insect glaive Rhondine and one of the wyverian twins for survival, IG Rhondine namely because two powder kinsects is kinda crazy with the powder vortex

Only Luchika is worth for breaking parts and getting KOs. All other weapons bar the hunting horn are nigh worthless

[Rasjel]

don't forget. the companions don't count as players. so the monster is not scaled and they bring their own buddys. so in total we are 1 player 2 companions 4 buddys. there the other player has to be good to make up for that. plus the monster get stronger with each player.

[cruste]

maybe if they activate carting for them
while luchika carts pretty often

And to make even easier add two healing palicos and you are nearly immortal as long you know what you doing

[Saber]

ALL NPC's make the game easy mode for soloing. I don't really see your point.
