They also have high chaining potential, and are very good at hitting the same spot over and over again, like the monster's head to rack up stun damage.

As expected, the Hammer deals only blunt damage which makes it perfect for dealing stun damage and knocking out the monster. The ultimate evolution of sticks with a rock on the end, the Hammer is a fast, hard hitting weapon.
