Best great hammer?

I was gonna use dragon tooth, but I just noticed it only had a D scaling. What other greathammers are good? This is mainly for PVE.

If I´m not mistaken the Drakekeepers greathammer and the demons greathammer are very similar in damage, they both scale brilliantly with strenght,
the Drakekeepers weigh like 6 units less!
A really good choice!
Hmm, also, lest I forget, the Dragons tooth will get an A scaling in strenght once you´re done upgrading it!

Good link! Mind, most weapons get better scaling with upgrading, you have to click them to see the changes.

Malformed Skull has actually scaling if you infuse it elemental. That's the way you should go anyways. But it breaks so fast -.-

Sacred Chime Hammer needs huge stat investments, but is the hardest hitting wepon in the game.

Iron King has those cool R2s.

Gyrm has a unique moveset.

Giant warrior has same moveset. I think there's others that use same but I'm not sure which.

Giant warrior club has the best physical damage out put.
Malformed skull works wonders with infusion, but break really fast.
Drakekeeper great hammer is well balanced. Demons great hammer is drakekeepers weaker brother but easy to obtain.
Malformed shell looks like a giant tooth brush.
Crypt blacksword and sacred chime hammer are the best choice for hexers. Sacred chime hammer has strike damage though, so I would imagine it becomes incredibly useful in late game pve.
Crypt blacksword gives slash damage, but a better hex choice. The moveset is also sexy. Works better in pvp.
Smelter hammer looks like a giant chicken drumstick. Moveset is fun but not that effective. Wider swing arc though. 70 str req is something to look out for.
Gyrm, iron king, dragon tooth... forgotten weapons really.

King's ultra greatsword. It's an UGS with greataxe moveset, and strike damage *shrug*

Not even a Great Hammer (tho it has strike damage and f*cks your opponent's equipment-durability more than any other weapons), but ok...

The Crypt Blacksword is superior in any way IMO.
