User blog comment:Lord Loss/Discussion of the Week: Hammers/@comment-108.131.9.199-20120729231220

Since I got my first monster hunter game(Tri) and tried out all the weapons, I have fallen in love with the hammers. It is the main weapon I use. I can hit my mark with a bowgun, dish out quick hits with a longsword, and I'm adequate with a lance, but there is nothing quite like the feel of hitting on monster dead on from point blank with this hulking weapon, and seeing it crumple to the ground with stars circling. Your movement speed when charging isn't slow, so you can charge up some hits while evading. Once you get the knack of the monsters moves though and can dodge with little trouble,... it's over. There is nothing you can't kill with a good hammer. Even if you bounce, keep hitting it till it dies.
