more hammers

[.triple Cat]

boons are pretty dull bonuses and the weapons are mostly the same despite aspects so i think it would be more refreshing if there were more hammers to make runs more diverse i also think hammers should be re-rollable

More than 2 hammers + the ability to re-roll them would make any weapon absolutely broken.

In the last region you can buy an anvil which trades 1 random hammer upgrade you already have for 2. Also, you kinda have to stack all the flat bonuses and debuffs to have enough damage for the final boss. And there are plenty of boons with more active effects.

no it would not but even if it did i would rather that than have it be randomly broken based on luck sometimes

Would love to reroll the hammers if I could sometimes.

I love the runs where I get the Daedalus Hammer in the first room, since that may lend itself toward a particular build I like or like to try.

Conversely, if I end up with a selection of Hammer rolls that don't blend into what I do, e.g. using an Attack Railgun build, but every Daedalus Hammer is related to Special or the one hammer that reduces range for increased base damage, then I try to pick the hammer that doesn't interfere with my build instead.

It has saved a couple of my runs. When you really don't like the hammer upgrades you have and have the extra money, it can be amazing.

Yup, it's amazing if your hammers came later in the run especially, since your boon choices may not mesh as well with them (ended up going machine gun damage build with the gauntlets, attack speed, chain lightning, homing arrows whenever you do literally anything, increased attack speed). Problem was my hammers were all about specials or went against my build, so the anvil definitely saved me a bit. there.

Not to mention you sacrifice ONE hammer for two new ones.

Considering how much more impactful hammers are than boons I do think instead of hammers being random room upgrades they should be moved to the hall in between zones. Maybe being able to spend money or darkness for it. Probably wont happen unless they do an expansion with a big rebalance down the line though.

What balances them out is you can always only get 2 per run without using the anvil, unlike boons where you can get tons and tons of.

On a related note, how can i get the "targeting system" hammer for the Exagryph gun? In all my runs I've never seen that one so do I need to use a specific Aspect to be able to find it or is this a bug of some sort?

* Well, never mind, just got it a second after I posted this when I started my new run.

You know some hammers can't be obtained with certain shields, right? Check the wiki
