Mastering the Onslaught: The Ultimate End-Game Hammer Build


Greetings, fellow hunters! In today's thrilling post, we're diving headfirst into the world of raw power, heavy hits, and a relentless desire to crush our quarry. That's right; we're here to talk about the best end-game Hammer build in Monster Hunter Now. The Hammer has been my weapon of choice since the days of the original Monster Hunter, and today, I'm sharing with you my carefully crafted end-game build.

The Mighty Weapon: Diablos Hammer

The cornerstone of this spectacular end-game build is the formidable Diablos Hammer. This weapon is the embodiment of sheer raw attack power, which resonates perfectly with my "full onga Bunga" playstyle. While there are alternatives like the Thunder-focused Tobi-Kadachi or the water-themed Jyuratodus for elemental damage, I'm going all-in on raw power for this build. Another excellent choice is the Great Girros Hammer, which brings paralysis into the equation, adding a touch of crowd control to your arsenal. But for the purpose of this guide, I'll wield the Diablos Hammer with its unrivaled raw damage.

The Perfect Armor Set

Now, let's break down the components of the armor set that will turn your Hunter into a relentless hammer-wielding powerhouse.

Rathalos Helm and Chest: We kick off with the Raffles set, which provides an immediate boost to Attack. The helm and chest, in particular, offer two levels of Attack Boost, equivalent to a 6% damage increase. Not to mention, if you manage to upgrade the chest to level six, it delivers not one but two levels of Weakness Exploit, which grants an impressive 25% Affinity when striking a monster's weak points. A formidable addition to our damage potential.

Rathian Gloves: The Raytheon gloves bring a valuable skill called Lock On, accessible via a button prompt when you engage a large monster. Lock On lets you target specific body parts for precise striking, a fundamental strategy for Hammer users who frequently aim for the head. These gloves also come with Burst, which offers a 5% increase in Attack. Upgrading them to level six provides an even more substantial boost – a total of 10% more damage!

Diablos Waist: The Diablos waistpiece ensures you benefit from Part Breaker at level one, enhancing your ability to shatter monster parts. While this doesn't directly add to your offensive power, breaking parts can provide valuable materials and create openings for additional damage. Furthermore, it provides some defense, which is always appreciated.

Kulu-Ya-Ku Legs: Completing our armor set is the Kulu-Ya-Ku leg armor. Once these legs reach level six, they bestow Critical Eye 2, which grants an impressive 15% Affinity. When combined with Weakness Exploit and the Affinity bonus from the Raffles chest, you'll enjoy a remarkable 40% Affinity increase on critical hits, significantly elevating your damage output.

This masterfully crafted armor set balances offense and defense, ensuring that you have the tools needed to take down even the toughest monsters in style.

Customizing Your Playstyle

Now, keep in mind that there are alternative armor pieces and strategies for Hammer users, depending on your preferred style. The Hammer is all about stunning monsters and unleashing massive damage, and this build fully embraces that philosophy. However, as you explore other armor combinations and skills, you might discover unique playstyles that suit your preferences.

High Damage

This end-game Hammer build is a perfect blend of power and precision. The Diablos Hammer combined with the Rathalos and Rathian armor set, as well as the Kulu-Ya-Ku legs, ensures you deliver relentless damage to your foes. While this build is designed for players who cherish high-impact, in-your-face gameplay, remember that the beauty of Monster Hunter is the freedom to experiment and find the style that best suits you.
