1. Introduction
==============================================================

When news of the new Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G came out,
many fans had anticipated a fresh new aspect of the game, a
co-operative AI called the Felyne Comrade (also called Felyne
comrade). This concept offered a whole new range of tactics to
the average hunt, enriching the experiences from the
precedent Monster Hunter titles.

Felyne comrades are unique, they come in different colors and
behaviors but creating the best felyne comrade is difficult.
Thats where this guide comes in to help a little... So what
are we waiting for? Lets get started, nya!

==============================================================
2. Damage Calculations
==============================================================

I'm sure many people have already started to wonder how much
damage their Slash Felyne comrade does when launch an attack
on Lunastra's head or if the Attack Up Skill gives them a
small or a big boost in power.

Felyne attacks are considered by many players as "nimble",
"pathetic", "weak"and "suprisingly unreliable"...

And correct they are! (especially the unreliable part) Felynes
are mostly for taunting or baiting opponents and other cutesy
purposes. But that doesn't mean their damage is insignificant.
Unlike our golden rule: Raw > Elemental (for Heavy Weapons),
the felyne's is raw = elemental. Elemental is very useful at
the early stages of the felyne's development as it does more
damage than raw as it is fixed. But raw damage will eventually
overtake the elemental (that is if you train and buff up the
cat). A fully trained cat will do up to 45 damage per attack!

--------------------------------
Damage Formula
--------------------------------

ATTACK X HITZONE X DEFENSE X RAGE X CRITICAL
Raw Damage = ----------------------------------------------
WEAPON DIVIDER

+

ELEMENTAL X ELEMHITZONE X DEFENSE X RAGE
Elemental Damage = ------------------------------------------
10

Some inaccuracy can still occur with this formula.

Looks just like ours, but without sharpness and attack type
etc. If you are familiar with how melee damage works, this
should be a breeze for you.

Okay I'll explain each variable carefully:

The following faq will help: (credits to DS31)
----------------------------------------------------------
| http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/psp/file/943356/53339 |
----------------------------------------------------------

-------------
RAW DAMAGE:
-------------

ATTACK:
-------

This is the felyne's attack power. To view the attack power,
go to START then Reference, and finally Felyne. Just enter
whatever value is shown, 120 = 120, no need for decimal
points.

HITZONE:
--------

This is the body part where the monster is being hit. Felyne's
will mostly hit the legs, head and stomach. It also can do a
jumping slash attack that can sometimes reach the wings. Say
your felyne is attacking Tigrex. It runs and does a SLASH
attack on the HEAD. Looking at the Melee Damage FAQ, the hit
zone's value is 80, hence we substitute it into the equation
as 0.80.

DEFENSE:
--------

This is the monster's defense which can vary from monster to
monster and rage mode to another rage mode. Again an example,
your felyne attacks Naruga, it has a defense of 85%. Simply
substitute 0.85 in Defense.

RAGE:
-----

When a monster gets angry it's defense in most cases
increases. Okay, now for the example: Akantor gets angry and
goes into rage mode. Its rage multiplier is 0.8, so substitute
0.8 for the Rage Value.

CRITICAL:
---------

Affinity can only be unlocked with the "Combat Expert" skill.
This will give the cat an approximate affinity of 25% - 30%.
When your cat does a critical attack, it will show a light red
slash meaning that your cat has dealt 120% more damage to the
monster than usually. For the Critical part, you need to
substitute 1.2 in. There is no such thing as a negative
critical.

WEAPON DIVIDER:
---------------

This is the most important part of the equation. Notice that
your cat changes its weapon now and then? This only can happen
when your cat's attack is at a certain level.

=======================================================
| Attack Power | Slash Weapon | Impact Weapon | Divider |
|=======================================================|
| 0 - 150 | Bone Pick | Catspaw | 10.6 |
|--------------+--------------+---------------+---------|
| 151 - 300 | Crystal Pick | Acorn Hammer | 8.9 |
|--------------+--------------+---------------+---------|
| 301 above | Ochre Scythe | Barrel Hammer | 8.0 |
|______________|______________|_______________|_________|
Note: These aren't actual names for the weapons.

So from the table above, just substitute the Divider into the
equation from above. Say if you have a Felyne with 190 Slash
attack. Your felyne's weapon will look like some kind of flat
blue crystal wrapped around a stick. Since the attack is
between the 151-300 range, substitute in 8.9 as the Divider.

-----------------
ELEMENTAL DAMAGE:
-----------------

I found that elemental damage was a bit complex to work with,
so the stuff below can be incorrect.

ELEMENTAL:
----------

Your felyne will have different elemental attack values based
on their attack power. Yet again (I know I keep saying this)
it is really easy to work with:

======================================
| Attack Power | Elemental | ElemAtk Up|
|======================================|
| 0 - 150 | 220 | 240 |
|--------------+-----------+-----------|
| 151 above | 280 | 300 |
|______________|___________|___________|

Put 220 if your cat has less than 150 attack power for
whatever elemental the melee weapon has as they all (Fire,
Water, Ice, Thunder and Dragon) have the same elemental power.

Status Attack:
--------------

Felyne's also have the status ability, but due to the
difficulties I have encountered, it was too hard to give a
solid value:

======================================
| Attack Power | StatusAtk | StatAtk Up|
|======================================|
| 0 - 150 | 250 | 270 |
|--------------+-----------+-----------|
| 151 above | 300 | 320 |
|______________|___________|___________|

Again, I apologise these values are only approximations. When
you calculate status, it does not do actual damage it just
lowers the monster's tolerance. Poison, Paralyze and Sleep all
have the same Status Attack.

For more information on Status Values on monsters, go to:

http://minegarde.com/wip/status.php

ELEMENTAL HITZONE:
------------------

This is same for raw, except this time it is just elemental.
Okay, this is just simple substitution, for example: Your
felyne attacks Garuga on the face with Water Elemental imbued
to its melee weapon. Garuga takes 20 Water, then just put 0.20
into the elemental hitzone.

What about Bomb damage?!
Well, this Guide at first was meant to be called Felyne
Comrade MELEE damage FAQ. I've expanded it a bit covering more
than Felyne comrade damage. Bomber cats are considered the
Gunners since they can attack from a small distance and from
ledges, so I was too lazy to calculate a proper formula for
damage. They are still however of some value... when they
don't bomb you to death.

==============================================================
3. Felyne Leveling Up Information
==============================================================

Attack, Defense and Health increase when a Felyne Comrade
levels up. Here is a table that shows these values for each
level:

=================================

For more statistics check out Yuzhy's chart:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/psp/file/943356/57398

--------------------------------
Loyalty System
--------------------------------

Felyne Comrade's have a Loyatly Level, where the more time you
spend with it doing quests, the more loyal it will become.
This means that it will for example use its health flute, set
traps often, nudge you when you are in Knock Out (Dizzy) or
covering your ears from a monster's scream. As your Loyalty
Heart Level increases, your felyne will do these more often.
The only thing it will do less is become idle, or fall asleep.

To increase Loyalty Heart level, you need the following amount
of Loyalty Points:

1st heart: 1000 points

2nd heart: 2500 points

3rd heart: 4500 points

4th heart: 6000 points

5th heart: 7000 points

When you first hire your Felyne comrade, it should already
have 2 Hearts, so it will start with 2500 Loyalty Points.

Loyalty Points can then be further obtained from quests, by
simply taking the Guild Point Reward's 10%. For example, you
finish Elder "Final Invatation", and you receive 2100 Guild
Points. Your cat will get 2100 x 0.1 = 210 Loyalty Points
added to its total amount.

Also if you set the Felyne's Training Routine to "Break", it
will gain 5 Loyalty Points, so break does have its advantages.

==============================================================
5. Felyne comrade Skills
==============================================================

Felyne comrades can have up to three skills, each having a
different effect on the felyne. Points rewarded from different
quests completed will be needed to acquire these skills.
Certain skills will be unlocked after a condition is reached,
for example hunting the Garuga will unlock the High Grade
Earplug skill or slaying the Hypnoc will activate the Sleep
weapon imbuement skill for your felyne to later on purchase
with points.

--------------------------------
Activating Skills
--------------------------------

When a skill is purchased your felyne comrade cannot use the
skill straight away, rather it needs time to learn the skill.
To check if your felyne has learnt the skill, go to START
(Menu) -> Reference (Page 2) -> Felyne Status, just below the
Skill Points box it will show you what skills the felyne
currently has. It also shows that the skill is activated
(white), or in the progress of learning (grey). Some more
advanced skills will require more quests to be completed than
other skills for it to be activated. Once activated the skill
will remain until you want the felyne to forget it.

I rank skills according to how the amount of points required
buy the skill:
There are three levels:

===========================================
| Skill Level | Skill Point | Learning Time|
|===========================================|
| Basic | 1 - 49 | 1 quest |
|--------------+-------------+--------------|
| Intermediate | 50 - 99 | 2 quests |
|--------------+-------------+--------------|
| Advanced | 100 + | 3 quests |
|______________|_____________|______________|
Note:
- All cats follow this rule, no matter what the lineage or
behaviour is.
- Gathering quests don't count as a quest. This includes
G-level Gathering.

Tip: Having at least one Advanced skill is recommended for a
Lv 20 Felyne.

--------------------------------
Acquiring Skill Points
--------------------------------

Skill Points are awarded to the felyne when it completes a
certain quest with you depending on the quest's guild point
reward. Calculating this is simple:

------------------------------------------------
| Skill Points = 1% of Quest Guild Point Reward* |
| |
| BUT: |
| If Quest Guild Point is lower than 200, then |
| skill points earn will be automatically 2. |
------------------------------------------------

*includes the deduction for fainting in the quest.

Easy to work out, so I will show two examples: Finishing the
"Absolute Zero" quest without fainting will earn you 3000
guild points. Take 1% of that will give you 3000 x 0.01 = 30
Skill Points.

Doing "Mountain Herb Picking" will offer you 40 Guild Points.
Since this is below 200, it will be made automatically into 2
Guild Points, as 1% of 40 is 0.4, not an integer! So the least
you will recieve is 2 Skill Points.

If your cat is doing the "Meditation" Training Routine, add 2
Skill Points to your total reward.

it will increase randomly, sometimes attack and sometimes
defense. For Toughness and Strength, it will sometimes
increase by 1, not just 2. I do not know why this happens so
yeah...

7. Frequently Asked Questions / Misc. Information
==============================================================

Misc. Information:

Note: Increasing will have effect after a quest. For "Fencing"
it will increase

- Without any Training, a Lv 20 cat's attack and defense will
add up to 200.
- A fully buffed Lv 20 cat's attack and defense will add up to
500.

I will add more questions as you ask... so ask away!

Q: What happened to sharpness and attack type?
----------------------------------------------

A:
Well your cat does not sharpen its weapon, therefore is has a
fixed, endless supply of sharpness. As for attack types, a
felyne will have two different attacks:

Spinning Slash - The cat goes on all fours and rushes to the
monster, doing a spin.
Pros:
- The cat can quickly recover from the spin and launch
another.
- A fast attack.
Cons:
- Low reach, mostly reaches the legs.

Jumping Slash - Same as the Spinning, but the cat will jump
and do some kind of slam dunk with its melee weapon.
Pros:
- High reach, this can do tail cuts and claw/wing/face breaks.
- Also a fast attack.
Cons:
- Slow recovery, leaves the cat open.

Obviously you cannot control what the cat does, so hope for
the best :D

Q: Why don't you have any suggestions on which cat to buy?
----------------------------------------------------------

A: Well this FAQ gives enough information for you to customise
your own.

Q: How much damage does my cat do when it bounces off a monster?
----------------------------------------------------------------

A: Same as us, multiply the raw damage by 0.7 if the cat
bounces. No, the elemental doesn't change when bouncing.

Q: You don't shed a lot of light on bomb cats... do they suck?
--------------------------------------------------------------

A: As you know, bomb cats move slower than normal melee users,
but they are allowed to have that "sonic" effect, from the
bomb's explosions. They also ignore any bouncing. In short it
actually depends on the monster you are fighting.

Q: How much Knock Out does my Impact Cat do?
--------------------------------------------

A: It does 20 Knock Out. For more information on Knock Out
values go to:

Q: Can my Felyne cut off tails?
-------------------------------

A: Yes, it can if you get lucky.

Q: Where do I get that Samurai suit for my felyne?
-------------------------------------------------

A: It can be obtained by going to Download on the main menu.
No whatever costume your felyne comrade wears does not affect
its damage outcome.

Q: The cloth strip around the Felyne's weapon changes color...Why?
------------------------------------------------------------------

A: It changes color according to its Elemental attack:

None: White
Fire: Red
Water: Dark Blue
Thunder: Orange
Ice: Light Blue
Dragon: Brown
Poison: Purple
Paralyze: Yellow
Sleep: Green

Colors don't effect anything, just for the looks.
