Palicos, the feline companions who can be found in almost every Monster Hunter video game, received quite a few advantages in the Sunbreak expansion. They received new powers and several additional features that improved their quality of life.

Players will have access to a few new quests about the time they begin Sunbreak’s tale in its entirety. The rewards for making these requests are the secret Support Skills that Palicos can use to sharpen their fighting abilities.

How to Get the Best Palico Guide in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak

Players in Monster Hunter Rise depended on an RNG-based mechanism to find the best Palico in the game’s main version.

However, in Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak, you may now customize the Palicoes to a terrifying degree without relying on the gacha system, emphasizing their inherent support moves rather than how pretty their design is. This is partly because of the “Swap Support Moves” function, which lets players swap out their Level 5, 10, and 15 support moves.

Although each level increment support technique has a unique quest unlock characteristic, Nagi the Buddy Agent manages them all. You should speak with this cat NPC about all matters pertaining to buddy management.

By completing MR missions, Nagi the Buddy Agent will let you start to unlock side quests which are the following:

  • Level 5: Tough Training Tools
    • Get a Hermitaur Hardclaw and a Ceanataur Hardclaw
  • Level 10: Grueling Training Ground
    • Slay 8 MR Rachnoid in the Lava Caverns
  • Level 15: Top-Notch Training Tools
    • Get 2 Rajang Wildpelt

These quests let you completely personalize the support moves for your Palico, many of which were previously restricted by RNG and challenging to optimize.
