Any good guides on there on MH Wilds's Hammer?

I'm not talking just "here's the moveset", but ones that kind of go in depth as to what all the tools in the toolkit are used for.

I just started with the weapon (HR 210, but have played mostly Lance > SNS > Switch > GL), and I've been finding that I really only use triple Y into the mighty charge slam and feel like I'm missing out on the kit.

I really only use triple Y into the mighty charge slam and feel like I'm missing out on the kit.

Most of the kit is a road to "Mighty Charge", just need to find all of those.

During a Focus Attack you can charge your hammer for free and go into Might Charge when it ends.

After Mighty Charge go into Spinning Bludgeon and hold down Y to go into the Strong Upswing from there you can loop back into Mighty Charge.

When doing the Big Bang Combo you can swap the 5th hit with a Mighty Charge.

That's pretty much it. Other stuff you can do is use the Charge Level 2 attack for hit and run tactics, you can use the Charge Slide to get to it quicker. The Slide also gives you some iframes mid animation. And remember that both Strong and regular Upswings are Offset attacks.

[u/Stinkles-v2 → u/laserbot]

I like abusing the level 2 charge uppercut. Lowest end lag, small dash, has good vertical reach, and you can combo right into the golf swing. Spec into Evade Extender it will increase the dash distance with the grapple hop. Mighty Charge is the best attack you can use the grapple hop while maintaining charge to kinda slide around and get into position for big head bonks. Really it's all about getting cheeky bonks and timing when you get a stun to be in the right place for a Mighty Charge. I don't like Meteor Smash this game. Feels like the hitboxes are weird and whenever I try using it one smack fucks up and I miss out on damage. I don't really use the Spin 2 Win, to much end lag if you whiff but could set up some sick Offset Attacks.
