User blog comment:Lord Loss/Discussion of the Week: Hammers/@comment-5020152-20120729232433

1) The monsters that I find to be easy prey for the Hammer are Barroth and Gigginox. Everything else, I find, is easier with another weapon altogether.

2) For me, Hammers don't work with - Qurupeco, Ceadeus, Tigrex, Rathalos, and Chameleos. For the latter and the former, it's hard to hit their heads. The other three... it just doesn't work for me.

3) I've only used Hammers in MH Tri. However, I'm trying to incorporate them into my Longsword/S+S/Dual Sword regime in MHFU by forging the Purse Bop.

4) I always use the Red Bludgeon+ when I need a good impact-damage/Fire weapon for whatever reason. It's also my only Hammer, ever.

5) My favorite-looking Hammers are the aforementioned Purse Bop, the Peco Flint, and the Ludroth Splashammer.

6) When I started working with Hammers, it was on recommendation, when the Plume Flint was suggested for the Gobul Urgent Quest on MH Tri. They've never been my favorite weapon (although they're admittedly effective), with the Switch Axe and Longsword being my preferred weapon choices.
