felyne story is in the MHFU

as

of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, you can hire a Felyne Comrade (or "Felyne Fighter") that will aid you in a quest. While a total of 13 Felyne Comrades can be hired at once, only three Felynes can be listed as "active". Active Felyne Comrades participate in training, which you can set on the Comrade Board. Although you may have up to three active Felyne Comrades, only one can come with you on a mission at a time.

In Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, your Felyne Comrade cannot come with you in Online Gathering Hall Missions (however, you can bring them in Offline Gathering Hall missions) or when you fight large monsters like Lao Shan Lung or Shen Gaoren. However, this will be possible in the upcoming Monster Hunter Portable 3rd. You can bring them when fighting the Jhen Mohran, for example. Not only this, but Monster Hunter Portable 3rd allows for up to two Felyne Comrades to come on quests with you to better simulate multiplayer play.

Hiring a Felyne Comrade

You may hire a Felyne Comrade from the same Old Lady you would hire your Felyne Chefs from. Sometimes she sells Comrades, sometimes she sells Chefs.

When looking at a Comrade for hire, you will see a chart with the list of the Comrade's stats, which follows the format listed below:

• First Leader: The Felyne Comrade's owner.

• Comrade LV: How high the Felyne's level is. The level limit is 20, but attack and defense can still be increased through development.

• Attack: How strong the Comrade's attacks are.

• Defense: How high the defense of the Felyne is.

• Fondness: How fond the Comrade is of you. This will affect behavior on quests. For example, if you have the Snowman effect, the Comrade can potentially attack you, which negates the Snowman effect.

• Coloration: What type/color of Felyne it is. The effects of a Felyne's coloration are only visual.

• Temperament: What kind of personality has (how it acts in the middle of battle; fearless, cautious, etc.).

• Slash/Strike: Whether the Comrade uses Slash or Impact attacks. Impact has the K.O. effect, stunning monsters if hit on the head enough. Slash can sever tails.

• Attack Pref: How the Felyne fights and what it uses during battle (Weapon, Bombs, both or doesn't attack at all).

The Comrade Board

The Comrade board is located in the kitchen. It is located by your active Felyne Comrades. You can only have 3 Felyne Comrades active at a time, the others cannot be seen, and they cannot develop while not active.

These are the board's options:

• Growth: Have your Cats undergo training that raises their stats.

• Comrade Skills: Give your Felynes special skills with the points they have gained (up to 3 skills per Felyne).

• Active/Reserve: Switch your active Feylnes, and which one is your Comrade.

• Armor: Choose the armor your Felynes wear (only for visual effects). Possible types of armor are Mafumofu, Acorn Mail and a downloadable Felyne Samurai set. This armor makes your Comrade's weapon change into a Katana if they are Slash type, or a wooden hammer if they are Impact. Attack power does not effect the weapon's visual image.

• Change/Dismiss: Turn your Fighter into a Felyne chef, or dismiss a fighter

Comrade Transfer: Exchange Comrades with your friends.
