Monster Hunter Outlanders Team compositions

A Monster Hunter Outlanders party is not four people standing next to a Rathalos. It is four class seats. This page writes example squads using the live official roster. Steal a row, then check it in the squad builder before you queue. If you do not know the names yet, start at the Adventurer list.

Weapon Overview｜Lance

Comp 1 — First co-op, any locale

Seat	Adventurer	Class	Weapon	Job
1	Fated Adventurer	Assault	Long Sword or Great Sword	Learn the monster, hold the face
2	Raya	Disruptor	Dual Blades	Demon Gauge, keep it from resetting
3	Madelyn	Support	Bow	Spores, medicines, party buffs
4	Ouyang Varen	Assault	Lance	Guard the cart, Impetus on openings
Buddy	Trillan	Support	—	Extra sustain while people still miss rolls

This is the “we read how to play yesterday” party. Two Assaults because beginners cart on contact. Raya is the pre-register Dual Blades, so she is the Disruptor most accounts will actually own. Madelyn is the Support everyone should try before they call Support boring.

Play this on forest Rathalos and Pink Rathian before you touch Radiant variants.

Comp 2 — Radiant Rathalos

Radiant Rathalos breathes near-molten flame and runs its domain like a king. You need a burst Assault, a pierce or coating Bow, and a Support who can keep people standing through the frenzy.

Seat	Adventurer	Class	Weapon	Job
1	Pyro	Assault	Great Sword	Eat a hit, dump the charge into the head
2	Luka	Assault	Bow	Thunder Coating through airborne windows
3	Madelyn	Support	Bow	Spores on the body, detonate on knockdown
4	Pepper	Disruptor	Heavy Bowgun	Aerial interrupt, slow the frenzy
Buddy	Trillan	Support	—	Second heal seat; do not bring Palico here

Two Bows looks greedy until the monster is in the air for half the hunt. Pyro still owns the grounded head. Pepper’s Ultimate is the panic button when Radiant Rathalos winds a breath you cannot roll on a small phone. Details live on Radiant species and how to hunt Radiant.

Comp 3 — Radiant Diablos / horn pressure

Reinforced horns, underground charges, rock that does not exist after the first slam. You want a Lance on the face and a Disruptor who can punish the tunnel.

Seat	Adventurer	Class	Weapon	Job
1	Ouyang Varen	Assault	Lance	Guard the charge, Impetus into the skull
2	Arkaya	Support	Lance	Resolve shield when the party eats a horn
3	Pepper	Disruptor	Heavy Bowgun	Catch the emerge, slow the next dive
4	Fated Adventurer	Assault	Hammer or Great Sword	Blunt or charge on the stunned head
Buddy	Rutaco	Disruptor	—	Field tools, extra interrupt

Two Lances is intentional. Diablos is a guard exam. Arkaya being Support means you do not have to park Madelyn on a monster that hates range. If your group cannot play Lance, swap seat 1 to Pyro and accept more carts. The melee weapons page covers both Lance kits.

Comp 4 — Poison and spores (Rathian line)

Pink Rathian and Radiant Rathian both make poison the real timer. Madelyn is not optional flavour here; she is the person who understands venom as a resource.

Seat	Adventurer	Class	Weapon	Job
1	Midori	Assault	Long Sword	Tail, counters, Spirit Gauge
2	Madelyn	Support	Bow	Spores, poison, party bloom
3	Raya	Disruptor	Dual Blades	Stay on the legs, stop the spin
4	Fated Adventurer	Support or Assault	Bow or Dual Blades	Second coating or second tail cut
Buddy	Trillan	Support	—	Voice sustain through poison ticks

Midori’s Rathian-coded kit is thematically cute and practically useful: she already plays the tail game. Raya’s mobility matches a monster that wants to turn in place. If someone in voice is new, make them the Fated Adventurer on Adventure Mode so they stop thinking about Foresight Slash.

Comp 5 — Flagship scare (Ruger Aidal)

Nobody has a complete live kill script for Ruger Aidal because the reveal is days old. The particles-as-armor description still tells you the triangle.

Seat	Adventurer	Class	Weapon	Job
1	Arkaya	Support	Lance	Shield the heat wave
2	Luka	Assault	Bow	Pierce coatings through particle armor
3	Keres	Disruptor	Dual Blades	Relentless pressure when it lands
4	Pyro	Assault	Great Sword	Burst the opening after a vanish
Buddy	Trillan	Support	—	Assume the cart is coming

This is a coverage comp, not a speedrun. If your friends only pulled Raya, she can take Keres’s seat. If nobody plays Lance, the Fated Adventurer becomes the shield. Do not invent a solo one-shot; the review is already skeptical of mobile Elder Dragons without party structure.

How to steal these comps without copying names

1. Write the three classes on paper.
2. Put your best player on the monster’s ugly mechanic (guard, interrupt, or heal).
3. Put the Fated Adventurer on the weapon the named hunters do not cover. Hammer is the obvious flex once you have it; see the Hammer overview.
4. Match the Buddy to the hole, not to the mascot you like.

If a banner adds a new Support Heavy Bowgun next month, swap Madelyn, keep the triangle. The tier list will move names. The jobs will not.
