How Buddies work in Monster Hunter Outlanders
Each Adventurer carries one Buddy of the same class. SSR Buddies have a personal bonus that triggers on a condition, such as Rupture damage, being airborne, a Parry or shielding an ally, plus a 3.5% damage bonus for everyone in the squad. SR Buddies give one squad-wide bonus, for example 3% elemental damage, 5% damage reduction or longer Suppression. R Buddies give 0.8% squad damage. Squad bonuses from every Buddy in the party add up, so even a carrier without a good personal match still helps the team.
Buddies come from the same recruitment banners as Adventurers: the 10-pull guarantee is an SR Adventurer or Buddy, and the standard banner lets you pick a standard SSR Adventurer or Buddy every 300 pulls (see the banner guide). Kojiro comes from the Battle Pass, and Shadow and Wrench arrive with Midori and Freya. Effect numbers are from one English database and may be rounded; we will re-check them against the in-game text.
