NOTE: As of Patch 1.08, the speed and distance of some attacks has been increased and the recovery time has been reduced. While the poise damage of Hammers has been reduced, Poise damage when attacking with two-handed Hammers has been increased.
NOTE: As of Patch 1.09, the scaling values of this weapon were changed. Please refer to the Upgrades Table of this weapon below. Additionally, running attacks speed increase with reduced recovery time for hammers.
With high poise damage and attack speed, this weapon is one of the best starter weapons even outside the RL1 category. It's charged heavy attacks is one the quickest ways to stance break even the mightiest bosses. Highly recommended to use this with Axe Talisman.
In PvP it shines with descent hyperarmor and quick 'bonks'. It is recommended to keep the default ash of war as it gives the weapon a 3-hit combo. Bull-Goat's Talisman and Roar Medallion are also recommended to have equipped.
