Quick upswing with good mobility
Level 2
Powerful side swing with wide reach
Level 3

Core Mechanics
Charge Attacks
Hold the attack button to charge up powerful strikes. Different charge levels offer different attacks, allowing you to adapt to any situation. Moving while charging enables unique follow-up attacks.
Impact Damage
All Hammer attacks deal blunt damage, which is particularly effective at breaking monster parts and dealing KO damage when hitting the head. Multiple successful hits to a monster's head will cause it to be stunned.
Power Charge
Power up your hammer to increase damage and grant flinch resistance. This state enhances all your attacks and changes some of their properties, making your strikes even more devastating.

Pro Tips & Strategies
Head Hunter
Always aim for the monster's head. The Hammer's KO potential is its greatest strength, and landing head hits consistently will give your team valuable openings.
Charge Management
Learn which charge attacks to use in different situations. Level 3 charges can be released into either a spinning attack for mobility or a big bang for maximum damage.
Positioning
Use slopes and ledges to your advantage. The Hammer has excellent aerial attacks that can lead to mounting opportunities and devastating spinning attacks.
Power Charge
Keep your Power Charge active as much as possible. The damage boost and flinch resistance are crucial for maximizing your effectiveness in combat.
