MH Stories 3 Eleanor — Weapon, Skills, Partner Monstie & Complete Guide
MH Stories 3 Eleanor is the princess of Vermeil and the hardest-hitting battle partner in Monster Hunter Stories 3. Her Great Sword delivers Fire-element Power attacks with the highest per-hit damage among all six partners. As Vermeil's situation worsens and tensions with Azuria escalate, MH Stories 3 Eleanor joins the protagonist's cause, bringing devastating burst damage to every encounter. MH Stories 3 Eleanor's partner Monstie Angie (Fire/Power) doubles down on the same Fire/Power profile, making MH Stories 3 Eleanor's team side a wrecking ball against anything weak to Fire. The catch: MH Stories 3 Eleanor is fragile. Without tank support from Kora or buffs from Ogden, MH Stories 3 Eleanor risks falling before her True Charged Slash connects. She's the definition of high-risk, high-reward — the glass cannon among MH Stories 3 characters.

MH Stories 3 Eleanor's Partner Monstie: Angie
Angie is MH Stories 3 Eleanor's partner Monstie — a Fire/Power-type creature that mirrors Eleanor's own offensive profile.

Angie's Power attacks complement Eleanor's Great Sword, meaning MH Stories 3 Eleanor's team wins virtually every Speed-type Head-to-Head through sheer damage stacking.
