Why did nobody tell me that palico rally is so good?

[Your Mom's Oshi]

I've been farming a bunch of tempered elders for gems and ore and I decided to try palico rally for ♥♥♥♥♥ and giggles. After some practice I started getting much better completion times. Sometimes it is saving over 2 minutes and getting me more consistently below 10 minute hunts. I've been practicing hitting a full meowcano on a CC'd monster and I'm hitting for up to 78 per tick.

Why do people never talk about this amazing skill? I'm seeing a ton of use from it.

I don't know about that. If you already got the standard crit boost and max crit chance, adding Palico Rally instead of something like Agitator might give greater returns. Just need the math on it.

coral orchestra.

It's Coral Orchestra + 1 extra damage buff VS Meowlotov Cocktail+25%. The cat barely even attacks when it has orchestra on, meanwhile the bomber's damage isn't super low.

i don't need my cat to attack the monster, buff and spaming gong is enough.

And that's what is great about this game. Tons of viable strategies and playstyles.

Meowlotov does a ton of damage and Palico Rally affects grimalkynes (I think) so they're really good for solo play. But most people will just give the bongos to their cats and forget its even there.

I remember people in base game doing "solo" palico runs on tempered elders and killing them in ~15 minutes. Not super fast, but I've seen a lot of people struggle to get similar clear times playing normally.

anyone going to talk about how some guy here just said that meowcano doesn't wake up monsters?

[Netsa]

I did, but my confusion went unanswered. I probably didn't use enough question marks.

Wait what? Meowcano doesn't wake it up? I thought all sources of damage woke them up?

super easy mode?

max palico rally, things that affects your Kinsect and run insect glaive with lots of defensive skill types and a nice strong bug with a proper element on it.

Minion build! you are a unkillable god and your pets do all the dirty work!

Why should you run palico rally if you're joining SOS flares that usually get 4 players?

that's honestly a big reason nobody talks about it

What's there to say? It doesn't, and I know that first hand.
