📋 About This Mod
OVER 1K DOWNLOADS! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I've been nominated as a Mod Author on Nexus! So thank you! I will be working on another Palico Mod and I've made a list of the request people have made, I will try to get to the ones I can! But thank you so much!
POWERFUL PALICO!
This is a mod that boosts the overall strength of your Palico to that of an endgame player. This mod relies on the fact that you've reached endgame in Wilds and can craft the final gear sets for your Palico.

The Hinge Blade Alpha is what is modified for this mod and is the weapon you need to equip your Palico with in order for them to become stronger.
What's Changed
- []Old Hinge Blade: Melee 40 | Ranged: 40 | Defense: 0 | Element: None | Affinity: None
- New Hinge Blade: Melee: 830 | Ranged: 415 | Defense: 300 | Element: Dragon: 30 | Affinity: 30
This change puts your Palico around the same strength as a geared endgame player.
Furthermore I've changed the cooldowns of ALL the Palico's Gadgets. They will use them more often.
