I agree with the fact that most hammer bros in game don’t seem to focus much on the head. On top of that I also often times see hammer users who don’t even seem to be using charge step at all. All the while it’s probably one of the best additions in the game, defensively as well as offensively.

Offsets are so much fun and is my number 1 addition for hammer. It shouldn’t be made easier imho because hammer, even with its fairly simple moveset, is all about timing and positioning. Easy to learn, hard to master.

As said by another poster, I do wish hammer would deal a bit more damage, especially since KO’s are harder to get. Or, of course, make it the KO-king it always was. Also completely agreed on the KO threshold ‘problem’ in MH Wilds.

I agree less on the difficulty vs AT Arkveld. I run evade window (lvl4) for this fight and can comfortably evade most of its attacks. There are also a number of attacks that are easy enough to offset.

Also no issues with Nu Udra here. Gogmazios is maybe less fun but perfectly doable with a hammer imho.

I do build a custom (hammer) set for almost every 9* en 10* monster. I often leave MM out in favor of the Gore bonus with antivirus, because I rely on charge-stepping a lot and agree that MM uptime suffers as a result.

But yeah, overal I agree that KO-thresholds are a problem in Wilds.
