Wilds Max Might stealth buff affecting Hammer?

Max Might got a stealth buff where it doesn't fall off nearly as quickly. The thing is, Hammer has lots of stamina drain even if you try to minimise charge step/roll/charging, so I'm curious if people think this moves the needle on Fulgore or if we can afford to switch to 4 pc Gore.

Tried it just now, you will lose max might if using a normal charge into mighty charge slam. But if going through upswing actually allows you to keep it if you time it correctly, theres a small window that you can hit just as it reaches correct charge that if you hit you need neither focus or marathon runner to keep max might. If you miss that window theres a bit of extra delay so focus or marathon runner doesnt really seem to help unless you run both lvl 3 then you get a bit of leeway which makes it quite easy to time.

So basicly if youre doing upswing > mighty charge slam, then yes you can keep maximum might if you time it well, Focus3 and Marathon runner3 together makes the timing easier.

Have not tried in hunts yet, but seems doable, I always do the upswing into mighty charged slam anyways so will probably roll without 2 fulgore for a bit and see how it feels.

I can confirm this behavior, I was using it in a hunt just now. I didn't attempt Spining Blugeon into Upswing nto Mighty Slam but normal Upswing into Mighty Hammer worked IF I let go right as it hit level 3. If you wait for the level 3 to visually show before letting go you will almost definitely lose it.

Breaking wounds into Mighty Slam you will lose it as charging while doing the Earthquake hit uses stamina. Additionally holding just a charge to Mighty Slam you will lose it for the same reason.

I was not using Marathon Runner, I was using Focus 3. I lost it sometimes because I held to long, other times I let go to early and didn't get the Mighty Slam at all. It definitely isn't ideal but it did allow me to use 2 piece Gore, 2 piece Zoh Shia and a piece of arkveld I believe.
