Questions
Should Greatsword use elemental damage?
Usually raw is the safer default for Greatsword unless a matchup strongly favors element and your gear supports it well. Big charged hits generally love raw more than fuss.
Should I build raw or element on Switch Axe?
Raw is usually the safer default, while element becomes better when your matchup and gear support it. If you are unsure, start with raw and branch out later.
Do I need perfect gear for this build to work?
No. A budget setup can function well if the weapon has solid raw damage and the armor supports basic offense and comfort.
Is this the best Palico build for solo play?
Yes, for most players the support-first setup is the most valuable solo Palico build because it reduces mistakes and keeps hunts stable.
Should a Palico focus on damage in Monster Hunter Wilds?
Usually not at the expense of support. Companion damage is helpful, but reliable healing and utility are more important in difficult hunts.
What is the safest Palico setup for beginners?
A defensive support build with strong recovery and straightforward utility is the safest beginner option.
Can I use this build in multiplayer?
Yes, and it often feels even better in multiplayer because steady support adds value without competing with other hunters for attention.
When should I switch away from support?
Switch away only when the hunt is already easy and you want to experiment with a more aggressive companion setup.
Do I need perfect gear to make this build work?
No, a budget setup works well as long as it supports sharpness, damage, and enough comfort to stay aggressive.
Do I need perfect gear for bow to work?
No, but bow benefits a lot from a coherent loadout, so even a budget setup should still support stamina and matchup alignment.
