What is the point of Energy Drink?

[Master Bates]

Anytime you fight something with Sleep, like Nightshade Poluma, Energy Drink is completely worthless.

That crap potion takes forever to drink because the hunter thinks he's some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wine connoisseur and has to appreciate the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing with every sip. So your walking there, drinking this crap, OH LOOK THE MONSTER JUST KNOCKED YOU ON YOUR ASS.

Of the maybe 10 times I've had to use this energy drink, 7 the monster just barrels into me and it's just a wasted potion.

For group play it makes sense because the team can always grab aggro. For solo, with that crap excuse for a sidekick, it's a 50/50 on rather the palico will actually get off his ass and grab aggro. Not even, more like 10/90 in the odds of a monster smashing you awake.

....I just stack sleep charms whenever I fight Nightshade for the sleep immunity. The only potion I bother with is maybe a mega armor skin or demon drug >>;

This is the feeling the designer had in mind when they left these in the game, the feeling of uneasiness and rush, knowing that that next hit might kill you or do substantial damage you keep an eye on your hp as the green fills up the red area or as your char walks drowsily while you slowly sip the energy drink. The sense of urgency is essential to the game.
It also encourages you to make sacrifices or armour sets that make you immune or resistant to sleep.
Look, if you only needed to a pill to get all better with everything the game would be boring as fk, not everything needs to be quick and easy mode. Stop bitc'n and make a nightshade Polina killer set, you have like 200 slots for that.

As far as I'm concerned the only problem with the game is the unskipable cut scenes.
Lost my saved data once, don't wanna have to see all that again..

Energy drinks are for stamina based weapons like: dual blades. For example: Well in archdemon mode. Your stamina dreams constantly. And depending on your build it'll drain faster than normal. If you use an energy drink It cuts down the drain of your stamina by 1/3 giving you. More than half the time in archdemon mode. Energy drinks in Monster Hunter Were there before armor skills like Constitution and marathon runner? It was something to give stamina based weapons a boost In battle. Energy drinks are not meant to refill your stamina. That's what rations are for.

You're thinking of Dash Juice. Pretty much the same colour (Energy Drinks are lemon yellow, Dash Juice is golden yellow)

Energy drinks raise your stamina by 25 up to the cap of 150, and knock you out of sleep status when drank while staggering. They may wake up sleeping teammates with Wide-Range but I've honestly never checked, it's such an uncommon occurrence.

Dash Juice maximises your stamina, provides a stamina regeneration buff, and maybe reduces stamina costs (I don't play with stamina intensive weapons so I honestly haven't checked, I mostly pop Dash Juice after carting or when I've been Ice or Waterblighted)

Pinging my Palico to come kick me is usually enough for me, never really bothered much with consumables.

How do you ping in world? I never found out honestly. Used to ping all the time in previous games.

Not sure if someone answered you already. If you click start and X (on Xbox remote anyways) it bring the palico.

It will say the bind on the top bar of the menu anyways
