Build Overview and Variants

Build Overview

This build is focus on dealing as much stun, damage, and monster part damage as possible. With this build you'll be able to constantly bonk monsters and bring them down swiftly and effectively. This build has the same skills as my other Greatsword Paralysis Build because it also compliments the hammer playstyle.

Damage Skills

  • Critical Boost
  • Weakness Exploit
  • Counterstrike
  • Antivirus
  • Maximum Might

These skills are the main focus on dealing as much damage as possible! Critical Boost allows us to deal some big damage when we are hitting critical hits which is most of the time. With the help of Antivirus, Weakness Exploit, and Maximum Might we are able to see a critical hit most of the fight! I like to throw in Counterstrike with this build because of the potential habit of trying to get off an offset attack. So it's a nice skill for when you get knocked down and you get a damage buff for a little while after this happens.

Other Skills

  • Agitator
  • Constitution
  • Burst
  • Charge Up
  • Flinch Free
  • Critical Eye

We have 1 or 2 points into these skills but they work well with this build so they're not to be slept on. Agitator gives us a small attack and affinity boost when the monster is enraged (which is most of the fight). Constitution reduces our stamina consumption which is always nice to have when using a hammer. Charge Up is always nice in a hammer build because it strengthens our stun potency when we hit a monster with charged attacks.

How To Play

How to Play

When playing with this build you always want to aim for the head of the monster because with the hammer you have a higher chance of stunning the monster. When the monster is stunned you want to try and get off the Big Bang Combo!

Big Bang Combo

  1. Playstation: O, O, O, O, R2 + △ + O
  2. Xbox: B. B, B, B, RT + Y + B

Offset Attacks

When playing with a hammer you can go into an offset attack in a variety of ways. The most simple one is just doing the triple Y or △ combo and on the last button input you can hold down the button and wait for the monster to hit you. This way you can time the attack better for when a monster is going to strike so you can hit them off balance with your offset attack
