Felyne Fighters
They say man's best friend is a dog but thats not true in the world of Monster Hunter!!! Who wants a dog when you can have a felyne that cooks for you and actually fight alongside with you!!!
![i3z0qd.jpg](http://i31.tinypic.com/i3z0qd.jpg)
There are 3 types of Felyne Fighters: (Thank you Kayin9988 of SoC)
1. Attacker type. Very brave, able to guard, can also use demon flute during battle
2. Bomber type. As the name says, it will throw bombs like crazy at monsters, can not use flute, great for range fight.
3. All Purpose type. Can do both attack and bombing, able to use demon flute and armor flute. But not very brave in battle, like to pick on small monsters rather than boss monsters.
The weapons these Felynes use also have elements being it elemental or status.
Felyne system
![28ltips.jpg](http://i25.tinypic.com/28ltips.jpg)
Each Felyne Fighter has its own status such as attack and defense, you can check these status as soon as you go to hire one. By taking Felyne Fighter with you in battle, it can also build up its status to grow much stronger!
Depending on the heart level, the more hearts you have, the more Feylne Fighter will like you as a master. In high heart level, they will attack, defense and cover you more frequently. Their personality is also a big factor for how they will behave in real battle.
Even though Felyne Fighter can do both attacking and supporting, but some felynes tend to like more attacking, this is also shown in their status screen.
![25uqivd.jpg](http://i29.tinypic.com/25uqivd.jpg)
Other than guild point and farm point, you will also earn Felyne Point after each quest. And these felyne point are used to give your felyne fighters more skill. As shown in the screen shots above, we know there is Hunting Horn skill, Demondrug Skill, Armorskin Skill, Antidote skill and Recovery Skill.
![205zd6v.jpg](http://i31.tinypic.com/205zd6v.jpg)
Each Felyne can only learn 3 skills at max. You can choose which one they need to forget in order to learn a new one, and the skill they forget will be returned as half of the original Felyne Point to you, so there is nothing big to lose when you switch Felyne Fighter skill around.
There are many Felyne Fighter skill to come, such as Guard Up, Elemental Attack (Fire), Elemental Attack (Water), Elemental Attack (Ice), Elemental Attack (Thunder)
Sounds great eh?But it's only available to elder quest only.
