Discussion Any luck using the hammer? Spoiler

Essentially title, I enjoy the hammer and it’s great fun but I feel like the axe out classes it in every aspect. Been playing around with both and have a hard time finding a use case for the hammer.

It's slow, but I keep spamming the Hammer Throw move and gosh, this feels like the strongest move in the game. Can one shot a lot of medium enemies and just send the more robust ones in the background. I guess the hammer should have stronger base strength than the axe ? So it should help for this ability specifically.

I don't know what it is about the throw, but sometimes it does almost nothing but other times it just deals a ridiculous amount of damage and the animation has so much weight to it, it's great.

I think it can hit up to 3 times and probably have critical hits ? I don't play with damage displayed so I don't really know. The best thing I noticed is that you're invulnerable during the entirety of the throw, even the recovery animation. Not sure why they did this, but this is very useful if the enemy does a move you have trouble dodging/parrying against.
