Details on the SP State (Japanese ＳＰ（スタイルパワーアップ))


 * The SP State is a new state being added in MHXX.
 * It is a new buff that effects every hunter in an area, acting as a support for the team. The buff only affects Hunting Styles and its effects very depending on the style.
 * Guild Style: Use some items quicker.
 * Striker Style: Hunter Arts fill up slowly without attacking monsters.
 * Aerial Style: Less Stamina is lost while jumping and jumping off monsters.
 * Adept Style: Perfect Evasions and Perfect Guards are increased.
 * Brave Style: The Brave Gauge increases at a faster rate.
 * Alchemy Style: Faster build up on gauge.
 * Prowler: Less is lost from gauge while performing special skills.
 * Palicoes: More likely chance a support skill will be used.
 * Hunters and allies can be put into this state by equipping an SP Hunter Art (Japanese ＳＰ狩技).
 * These SP Hunter Arts can be equipped on any Hunter Art, but only one can be chosen to be an SP for most Hunting Styles, excluding Alchemy Style. Alchemy Style can have up to three SP Hunter Arts altogether.
 * Hunters can equip an SP Hunter Art by going to the Hunter's Manor's equipment box.

Alchemy Style Can Use a Stronger version of the SP State.
 * When shaking the Alchemy Barrel to create an item, the SP State can be gradually strengthened from II, III, and IV. After an SP Hunter Art is used, the effects of the stronger SP State will be activated.
 * II: Stamina lowers at a slower rate.
 * III: Stamina lowers at a slower rate and health recovers faster.
 * IV: Stamina lowers at a slower rate, health recovers faster, and a hunter's attack power is increased.
