HERE COMES THE BONK! The Hammer is another OG Weapon in the Monster Hunter series, dating all the way back to the very first game! It has seen many improvements over the years, culminating in one of the most satisfying weapons to use in Monster Hunter World! I can't WAIT to see what the Hammer is like in Monster Hunter Wilds!

When all you have is a hammer, everything starts looking like nails.

[@yourdad5799]

This goes hard

[@huthaifakhalissi236]

Things that make me happy (-A small ledge-)

[@TeraRyza]

For REALLL 💯

[@JDog_Unchained]

I prefer a small slope lol

[@acidlizard7774]

you can do clutch claw combo after jump attacks (on pledges too) and sliding attacks, if it was at charge lvl of 2 or 3, and airborne is a must skill on a hammer, +30% damage to all jump attacks is a must thing for a hammer.

[@zorro8027]

Agreed, and you can also continue the chain off of jump attacks too. At lvl 2 charger it does the uppercut, and at lvl 3 charge it does brutal upswing (spinning upward attack). So you have multiple chains off of jump attacks. And yeah airborne is a must have for hammer.

[@acidlizard7774]

I’ve gotten SO in hammer lately! The slinger spin hit after a big slam is my favorite move! Switch Axe next please, that’s my #1!

[@TeraRyza]

Switch Axe is coming very soon! Thanks for watching!!

[@TWhizzy]

With each guide my arsenal is getting bigger. Thanks for these vids

[@TeraRyza]

It's because of peeps like you that I'm able to make them! Thanks for watching man!

[@tyraelkamh1875]

Did a hammer ONLY play through, my absolute favorite weapon. Now years later im starting a new hammer playthrough complemented.by the HBG ❤

[@coffeepains9279]

Thank you for the guide in detail, this was really helpful!

[@Jojimitsu-Gaming]

Great video! Tera, I only came across your vids a couple months ago but you inspired me to start my own KZbin journey. thank you & happy hunting.

[@MOBOfficial7]

Appreciate it man this vdo very useful ❤🙏🏾

[@darrelladams4886]

How the hell did I not notice this one come in. I love weapon guide videos. And I think having builds added in is a good thing even if it’s just starter builds for each rank as you make the transition up

[@ShukakuTheCrazy1]

With a spinning attack after a slide or off a wall you can clutch claw immediately after to spin dash like Sonic right onto the monster. Great for when you miss or want to followup

[@jacobpitre1900]

Ledge hopping does incredible damage ALWAYS make use of ledges, and slopes for that matter too

[@Tassanamm]

One day a switch in my head flipped and I left the edgy rogue behind to favors barbarian type, so I switched from LS to Hammer and now I've started a new save to learn it from the very beginning of the brain. I think it's not a braindead weapon. The combos are easy to memorize and have tons of paths, but the thought goes to how and when to use what combos. Also there's a million resource to keep track of like the charge level, the overcharged that you need to maintain and the stamina. Great video btw.

[@AtoMatik]

Another banger video Tera

[@TeraRyza]

Thank you Ato!! I'm probably going to use that Rajang footage of us in a funny video here soon XD

[@AtoMatik]

@@TeraRyza nice

[@neonzombie1719]

Thanks dude, your video made me want to try out the hammer. Never liked the look of it, but you made me see it otherwise! Keep up the amazing videos!!!!

[@radoslav2913]

Listen, having the monster down out and you smashing his head in with a Hammer is an experience no other weapon can give you. Not even close. All the cool flashy stuff are cool and all but there's something more brutal and primal in smashing its ugly head with a hammer and watching parts flying in the air.

[@slaughterio8099]

As a dwarf myself, i'm glad you made a video about hammers. It's a great weapon, and even if it can't one shot every living creature as greatsword can, the possibility of delivering a CBT session to knocked out monsters is a massive plus itself.

[@VashimuXIV]

I’ve been playing Hammer in Freedom Unite recently, and it gave me the idea to try it out more in Sunbreak and Iceborne, and yeah I can safely say I’ve definitely been missing out on the fun factor of just smacking monsters in the face. Big stick go bonk!

[@Westsidekeff]

Hi! I'm a little late to this, (and VERY late to this game, lol) but I just picked up MHW and went with Hammer as my first weapon and from what I can tell, I chose correctly! I'm having a blast! I do love that you were talking about the mid-air hop off the ledge as being unreal, however swinging around a metal hammer that my napkin math puts at >500kg, no problem. :D

[@drakecarlston3765]

Thank you

[@TheKevinFanClub526]

You can actually spin uphill with the spinning bludgeon after sliding. Turn towards any direction right after you release the charge button.

[@leoghyzel3342]

I dont have the exact numbers but you can access a higher damage combo by doing running charge 3 then wait for 2 hits and cancel into the charge 1 attack to finish with the bigbang combo

[@LeoDLuffy]

I mained Hammer through Rise and Sunbreak, and finally decided to come back and play MHW and IB, and after seeing this it's 100% hammer time again 😁 thanks for the great guide and can't wait to get stuck in!

[@angelicajared2660]

I can't really add anything to this but personally I have two playstyles with hammer, one for solo and one for multiplayer. When I'm solo I go for the head relentlessly, but if I'm with others I slap on wide range and mushroomancer and focus on tenderizing the entire monster constantly while making sure no one gets below 75% hp. Recently I decided to branch out and get comfy with more weapons and I'm proud to say that I am at least competent with 8 of the 14 weapons, unfortunately it is time to return to monke to defeat Furious Rajang and Raging Brachydios.

[@zorro8027]

Absolute chad play style. I play the same solo, on teams I just get more relentless and go from targeting the head strictly to targeting the head and arms/legs. Since going for KO’s isn’t as viable in multiplayer as you’ll get 3 tops, it makes it more viable to invest in part break topples too.

[@angelicajared2660]

Update, finally beat furious and raging, struggled with alatreon and got my butt demolished by fatalis. All solo. Gotta do grinding lands to maximize my build, wish me luck I'm going back into the fray.

[@AnglofDoom]

Include the builds. especially for pre fatalis or pre raging brachydos

[@TeraRyza]

I will definitely consider it because I don't mind doing them! I just thought maybe they could have their own videos!

[@neonzombie1719]

I would also love build guides, having 200+hrs on MHW and no idea what im doing regarding builds is kind of sad lol@@TeraRyza

[@Sunless1337]

Note: 1196 was your inflated attack. The game doesn't show the player's total RAW in MHW, just the RAW value of skills. Ex, equip ATK levels and you get way more ATK than the RAW value of 3.

[@duftendergast9848]

thank you

[@LoesanDescargues]

The hammer was the reason why I continues monster hunter as I still ues it for ice born and rise it a weapon that show me power when I was 7

[@supakornt4073]

I love hammer even more when I use guild palace layer weapon I love axe design and I have ooga bunga brain so I only use hammer whit slugger secret And best tip I can get is max your slugger 3 or 5 if you have secret slugger set trust me make monster falling down 3 time in a row is like your best dream

[@layziedd175]

I am new to mhw or mh in general. And i usually play tank or support in other games so i had a toss up between horn and hammer but eventually ended up using hammer 😂 lance was in the mix as well. Will be adding aoe heal and more ko or stun in my current build 😊

[@Polute25]

Dude great video. That song sounds really familiar. Is it from Mana Khemia?

[@TeraRyza]

Spot on my dude :)

[@Nesque]

I went IG in original world launch, then began dabbling with Greatsword, as well as meta charge blade. I then moved to PC to start anew, went hammer for the sole purpose of "back to basics" playstyle where it isn't about doing combos, spamming powerful moves, it's all about getting to know monsters. And it's really good, I will say, building for hammer is a bit weird, it's hard to tell what stuff you should go for, specifically in terms of elemental powers, when there is no good non-elemental option. It's kind of like the sword and shield, though, with actually good damage outside of the true-leaping-slash combo. It's both a "newbie" weapon as well as the true end-game experienced player weapon because of how it improves with your ability to read monsters.

[@geminiproject704]

Not really any new insights here for me, but I do appreciate the video in giving my weapon recognition.

[@JDog_Unchained]

The hammer has really good mobility as well

[@wearblackclothes]

This is a great guide. My only problem with the hammer is that it isn't the sword and shield ❤

[@Adr1aNzA]

Hey what hammer is that your using? im a hammer main and i like the look of it :)

[@dolorem8426]

I once watched mhp3rd alatreon and how accurate head snipe was, i watched it multiple times until i wiped every monster on mhp3rd now im using it again after a charge blade sweep on my firt save

[@andriy1958]

Charge, find slide/wall run, rolling and bang. I switch to Hammer when fight against any Nergigante club, and MR all rathalos color,,

[@MillerTheOriginal]

Earplugs is a staple for me as a hammer main. There is nothing worse, when i am at level 3 charge, does the monster roar and i have to start all over again. Expensive but worth the points

[@samcarmel6975]

🔥 Hammer is the best 🔥

[@Hjerez17]

wait so when you charge you can just charge it after a sec? i always wait for the 3 chargers and then i super charge

[@RAZOR_Zro]

Need a charge blade video next

[@zacharymartel5592]

I'm surprised you didn't mention the airborne skill! 30% damage buff to air attacks is huge. Hammer players are ALWAYS looking to get into the air haha

[@TeraRyza]

I didn't mention it only due to it not working on the midair spinning bludgeon! You think it would work on that but IIRC it doesn't. So sad

[@jahovah2979]

It works on airborne spin attack but only on the attacks mid air and not the final landing hit which is the big dmg, either way just the regular jump attacks are already very strong so i think its still worth a mention

[@zacharymartel5592]

@@TeraRyza I actually didn't know that. Huh.

[@ilikedragonwaifus9407]

You can flinch a monster with crystalburst or piercing pods etc, while holding your charge before dropping a brutal big bang (Simple hammer tips)

[@tomblack2064]

My comfort weapon 😊😊 if a monster is giving me bother, i can always fall back on hammer to get the job done xD id recommend it for beginners, because its simple enough to use, lots of topples/KOs, and also keeps you in front of the monster making it easier to learn their move set as you've a good front on view😮

[@ScentSense]

I'm starting to love Hammer for some reason... It's so damn​satisfying to bonk the hell out of everything 😂 Any chance we can get Gunlance, Switch Axe and/or Charge Blade guides soon? Seems really hard to find anything up to date for those weapons, there's a couple for SA but the other two pretty much don't exist on KZbin lol. Bowgun guides are also rare apparently.. Sigh

[@thetorfywebster]

Feels good when there's newcomer enjoy the game good luck on your hunt ! ( Btw if you meet ls mains coop with please use flinch free... )

[@EllaKarhu]

Pretty solid guide. I disagree with some of the skill choices though, namely marathon runner and focus. Hammer is one of the least stamina hungry weapons, you basically can't run out unless you try. I know you mostly recommended it for new players, but even then I don't think it does much. And being able to move while charging means there's very little benefit in reaching lvl 3 slightly faster, it's not like you'll miss the attack. It also makes the window for lvl 2 charge smaller, which isn't a big deal but it's definitely not helpful. You're better off slotting something else.

[@yagatami]

I love how every weapon guide or weapon rating starts with "XXX is actually a very underrated weapon" unless it's about GS, LS, or DB.

[@jasonmillington7806]

[@dragonfighter01]

I love the hammer but I will choose the flute over the hammer, because flute can knock the monster down too.

[@j.peezer]

When you power charge your charged attacks have a slightly longer recovery time before you can roll so there is a reason to not use it although if you’re a true hammer bro you don’t use your brain you just swing big stick at monster face😎

Underrated by who??? Its very popular its consistently good in most entries it flows well with clutch claw and is constantly recommended to new players.

[@psc293192]

I wouldn’t say it’s underrated either, however it is around the 8th most used weapon so not exactly topping the charts. I know how good it is, been a hammer main all way through MHW and Iceborne.
