User blog comment:Lord Loss/Discussion of the Week: Hammers/@comment-222.153.40.111-20120730073620

i love this weapon. it's fast, powerful, and it can make easy work of any monster. it can even stun monsters when you hit it on the head several times. and of course, the one move that all hammer users spam: the super pound. it can deal a ton of damage once fully charged and it doens't bounce off heavily armored monsters. granted, you sacrifice the ability to guard and because it's an impact weapon, don't expect to cut any tails with it (even though some look like giant axes...). i like the hammer controls in tri and portable 3rd due to its fluidity. i prefer this weapon over the greatsword.

1) this weapon actually works on any monster, especially heavily armored monsters like barroth and gravios.

2) i think this won't work well on fast moving monsters like narga or tigrex.

3) i love using this in tri and portable 3rd. a little scepticle on the underwater controls though.

4) i can't decide. they are all good.

5) i think i'll go for the red bludgeon's design. it's cool looking and it has good stats.

6) hammers are one of the best weapons in the game with good reason. it is also the best impact weapon. hammers are all-around weapons, having high attack power and elemental power. not too sure about the status inflicting though. this is one of my main hunting weapons.
