Rey Dau is only 1* to Stun/KO, says the hunter's guide...

[SapienChavez]

How many KOs would I get if he was 2-3*?

I freaking LOVE the hammer. I hope the rep "that it is a bad weapon" holds, so people do not jump on the superior bandwagon. Even "the worst" weapons freaking tear through these guys... if you know what youre doing.

Good job.

But I think all weapons are viable against Rey Dau and especially in multiplayer. The speedrunners show that you can pull it off with any weapon.

Hammer might have a harder time getting the full high damage combo out, but the stuns add a lot of value by itself to the team.

At the end the best times are only possible with weapons you feel comfortable with and that hit consistently.

hammer is and was alsways a weapon which goit better the more difficult the mobs gonna be. Makes the stuns more valuable

hammer lacks in dps which make it a worse speed run weapon. But as soon you got in as a duo hammer shines

>people say hammer need to be more fluid and have better follow ups to be paired with other weapons
>people understand "hammer sucks"

It's like saying the game is boring and people read "this game is ♥♥♥♥". Man, this is really harsh how people can't understand what they read anymore.

About the KO is depends on the resistance numbers and if this is an normal rey dau or tempered. I don't think we have the exact values for AT yet, although you can simple test it yourself with that mod that show monster values.

Well, that was AT Rey in the screen shot.

I am long past my days of min/maxing and crunching numbers. I was into that with custom quests, big time, in the MHP2G to MHP3 days. Now, I just hunt with my wife and everything dies fast enough for us not to care too much.

And, I like to be a smartass ;)

I just wish the offset wasn't buried in it's own combo.

While i do agree, i also find it satifying to hold that combo and time it juuust right. (The timing of the hammer is the thing that makes it my favorite. It is closer to... dancing... than any other weapon (well, all love to my hunting horn brothers and sisters, you have me beat on almost all fronts. I will concede.))

Took me a while to learn this "off-set" mechanic. I had to see it happen randomly. then I had to realize it was the golf swing. Then i had to realize the game now lets you HOLD that point of the combo. (I do not watch videos and did even talk about this game online until I had completed it)

ps- the focus mechanic took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out too. Landing the actual focus strikes, i mean... creating and abusing wounds was pretty self evident from the go. If it wasnt for there being an achievement, I may have never figured it out. who knows?

I only figured out from reading weapon guides what an "offset" was a few days ago (such an unintuitive name for an interception), and the only one I've ever used was the HBG ignition counter thingie... once. People seem to talk about them a lot but it doesn't mean much to me. Same with perfect guards for that matter. It isn't like the game really forces their use.

Personally, i feel like the star rating are off in this game because I will see One star of various elements then the next page or two over it says that those one star elements are effective against said monster.

Also, hello welcomed Hammer Bro.

[Cyalide]

Hammer is a great weapon, personally I feel like in every monhun there is no true "weak" weapon just the worst weapon for speedrunning.

Personally I disliked gunlance despite it being my favorite weapon for forever but now that shelling scales? I love it and I actually feel like I'm doing damage :D

Keep giving those monsters concussions friend!

[!@#$%!@#%!]

for casual that hunt monster over 10min , yea sure weapon balance meant nothing to them , but it doesn't hide the fact that hammer is weaker than others weapon atm

At 2*, probably 7 stuns
At 3*, 8-9 most likely.

iirc, monster resists to status debuff buildup from 1* to 3* are around only 70-80% more threshold. For example using HBG like requiring from 2 shots of sleep ammo lv 2 becomes 3-4 shots of same ammo. The threshold for buildup grows with every successful trigger. But then you will eventually reached threshold limit
