question for hammer mains

[Dashin]

so my main was always hammer in every mh before world but when i played world i was told that the ko is so weak in multiplayer its not even worth it ive beaten the the game and i want to go back to my lovely hammer but i want to know if its trash in world multiplayer not solo

[McFuzz]

KO or not, it's still a huge damage dealer. I would imagine that using KO gems and the impact mantle significantly increase its viability.

[Arcanyxia]

it does fine damage but just about all statuses are absolute ♥♥♥♥ in multiplayer. Mounting takes 10 years with insect glaive, ko pretty much doesnt happen, etc.

[Chaos Mana]

KO scales like anything else when multiplayer starts, but I've honestly had no issues putting monsters down in a KO state several times during a hunt

Besides; you should be using a Paralyze hammer, then you have another stun to dish out. Switch between Impact mantles and Apothecary mantles and you are an unstoppable hammerbro.

every weapon have its pros and cons, don't be discourage of people saying it trash or whatnot, have fun with it

the fun part of hammer is hit and run tactic, my character name is Doomtrain, so I just went CHOO CHOO MADAFAKA HERE I COME

and if you're worried about KOing the monster, there's always KO jewels to make hammer even more fun to play

been usin hammer in multi for a while. i can hitch more rides than insect glaives. tho beware the dual blade naruto bois, gonna trip yo ass.

[Incidius]

It all comes down to what you're fighting really, some monsters are just naturally harder to ko, sure it's fun to put 1 down and go to town on its head, but playing tactically isn't too bad as well, just like some of the elder dragons, some of them are just too tall for you to hit the head most of the time. So theres always other ways to try.

Keep hammering!

Because the insect glaive has a low mounting threashhold. Aerial attacks only fill up the invisible mounting bar by a certain percentage depending on the move; even with the hammer, jumping off a ledge and bashing it will mount much faster than doing the slide spin attack, even though the slide spin attack does far more actual damage.

And the insect glaive requires a hell of a lot of damage before you get that mount. It should not be viewed as 'the' mounting weapon when it takes so long to build up the bar. Lance and SnS are the mounting kings.

nope. hammer is still super viable and if uve used hammer in all those past games like u said then u should have no issue becoming a knock out king again. was never big on hammer till MH4U because i never understood the KO threshold but it no where near being terrible. hunting horn also have some really good ko damage though i do find it easier to ko with horn because of faster attack speed, long reach and how fast u can move with the horns player only buff. havent seen many people rocking the hammer but it would be nice to have more people use them online.
