Something I didn't mention in the video is inline reloading (should tell you something about it) Inline reloading is basically a primed strike ( 3:00 ) but hitting the reload button instead of the heavy attack. It's never really used, due to extended clip being the meta, and it slowing down your combos. Perhaps you could utilize it practically with Molten edict antique clip, if you decide to prime a hit earlier in the combo.
Glad you do mention inline reloads. Though I only ever prime and quick load 1 attack in a combo (usually the 3rd swing) I don't really feel like I slow down; now doing it repeatedly or during the 2nd swing at times I do feel like I just jumped into molasses with how slow I suddenly feel.
Awesome video thank you for this guide! I never thought to use double jump for boops, I usually try evasive blast and it'd be a toss up if it actually works. As a new-ish player who loves but struggles with heavy weapons, PLEASE MAKE AN AXE GUIDE!! 😁
🙏 Crazy how PHX made an ammo system so good that you can meta slave and only use 1/3rd of the options available and it is still a thousand times more interesting than the actual Gun weapon's ammo system
Relatable, once you learn the hammer even slightly... You basically *can't* go wrong or too wrong with it, I even feel it's even more basic than, hear me out and don't kill- The reworked sword... Yeah, uhhhh, totally not hating the combo system sometimes
@@thycorrupted The Hammer, Warpike and Axe are the only weapons i like, hammer has stun and damage, warpike has spin to win, and axe has damage stacks and hulking attacks, sword is my least favorite so far, feels slower than spear and slightly weaker damage wise for some reason.
Hammer was my first ever main but I switched to Axe but since my discovery of the Meatball Mallet (Molton Edict) it would be great to give it a shot again the tutorial was strat to the point and wasn't dull love you're content and I look forward to you're new upcoming streams or videos
would you be able to make a full stagger hammer build. i run with a couple other people and having the ability to stunlock behemoths is helpful on things line heroic escalations
I used to main hammer. Got pretty good at it but it got boring. I'm using sword and axe now and it's very fun playing axe. These heavy weapons are op if you know when to dodge and when to attack.
@@koalakurt9366 hammer is easier to pick up, easier mechanics. With axe, you need to be good at managing stamina, good timing with charged attacks etc.
@@joshc.8489 team I’m enjoying hammer but I feel like it will get boring, but there’s a lot of little things you can do with the hammer. Like one hit you can charge it plus at then end recharge you’re ammo. Attack Y end of attack Rb
Haven't played since early release got back into it due to a friend. I main War Pike feel like I'm doing OK but I'm not entirely sure how the playstyle is i.e should I be more poke or spin to win. I mainly spin to win since part damage seems to be a big part of it
@@vanadyan1674 I'd recommend power surging another weapon element as well. Helion or Savyt. Cause in higher level maps there are a number of strong umbral behemoths, and riftstalker weap won't be as effective.
I still don't understand how in a chronovore weapon build, the rezak' weapon wich has cunning +2 or 3 and is capable of hitting twice isn't better than Valormyr with the aetherhunter. I understand that his unique effect is better than rezak's one, but it's still a decent unique effect and we get cunning in bonus. While imo aetherhunter welp, depend on the behemoth behavior, sometimes i won't see any aether charge for few fights and sometimes they're going wild with aether :D
Rezak weapon effect is kinda up to chance, plus it's hard to tell whether it actually happened. Unrealible, low chance. Valomyr is guaranteed to proc, and better with heavy weapons for a strong burst.
For me, I feel like it's sword. Not crazy high stamina cost, has atk spd on special, dashing skill, realiable interrupt, and of course good dmg on heavy combos and dps.
can i survive frost escalation without forging a hammer or is it a must to have a certain number of reforge for the hammer? i'm currently using Axe but, i'm interested to start building hammer for the next weapon.
The only use for knockout king would be if you need to stagger something, while dealing less damage to it. Normal damage sources will increase your stagger damage anyway, and you’re going to kill the behemoth faster
does anyone here know why I can't get aether charge ammo when I slam the hammer? every time I have to manually reload cause it wont do it when I finish my combo
During the hammer slam, the hammer itself needs to physically connect with a behemoth for the ammo to get loaded and aether charged. I've had many moments where the behemoth moves at the last second and the hammer slams down JUST outside of their hitbox, super frustrating. One of the reasons I ended up switching over to Axe as a main lol..
@@christianmaron282 I know it still doesn't reload, it only happens with a few of them like molden edict, rifstalker, pangar, etc., I don't know why this happens
For some reason, I CAN'T execute hammer jump - and therefore, not aerial strike either -, just double jump, when it comes to sprint+right click. I have submitted loads of tickets but no answer whatsoever. This issue have been occurring to me for more than a year, and it affects my playstyle negatively (although axe is my main weapon, I do enjoy using the hammer). Has anyone else having the same problem?
you have your hammer in your hand right? it doesn't work if it's sheathed on your back. took me a few runs before I realized that was my issue not being able to hammer jump.

Can you do a guide for war pike?
Got back into Dauntless after a couple years. Your vids have brought me up to speed with weapons and builds. Thank you!!
noice guide, I mainly use hammer for the thickest amount of emotional damage
Bro is an Npc 💀
No, I’m actually just another bot account 😂
I've become pretty good at every weapon, just strikers and hammer. Really want to get good at them. This guide helps a ton thnx man 👌

Been looking forward to this, I love that when I play hammer I'm just the guy constantly staggering the behemoths.

Thank you for all the info. As a new player this helped a lot.
Can you cover pike next?
I started maining hammer 3 days ago and was struggling ty for the vid
These guides are ace! I’d like to see them all but sword next please! 😅👍
More videos like this would be great
I've been getting into swords so I personally would like to see a sword guide
Could you make a guide for war pike now up to date and Ossian repeaters
Nice!
Hey, you think you can do a "Refreshed" guide on the other weapons?
Awesome guide, could you do sword next?
Best guide imo. War Pike would be nice.
I REALLY like this style of video.
Master AXE PLS
Axe Guide!
Will you continue this guide playlist?
For the lava balls if and only if you charge them up to 2 times they will interrupt but it's pretty tricky
Ty now imma go Hammer sum behes 🤗
Would you be able to do the chain blades next?
Maximum staggering
Also some swaggering
It's been a year you deserve a like
i'd appreciate an updated armor guide, i think i've made good choices, but i'd love your thoughts
would you be able to make a full stagger hammer build. i run with a couple other people and having the ability to stunlock behemoths is helpful on things line heroic escalations
Knockout king, weighted strike, overpower plush 6 on all three and then whatever else you want
i still don't get how you do those... shine stance beffore attack
Lime a timed attack
and is it the same build for the terra hammer too?
Sword next please please
I used to main hammer. Got pretty good at it but it got boring. I'm using sword and axe now and it's very fun playing axe. These heavy weapons are op if you know when to dodge and when to attack.

Can you do one for chainblades or swords? That would be great. Solid vid btw 👍

Omg when Embermane's AI just isn't there. XD
Chainblades
When i the game came out the first weapon i mastered was hammer and then chain blade. I haven't used it seens then
I'm new to Dauntless and I don't know how to equip the Mighty Landbreak special. Does it have to be a certain type of hammer?
how to primed attack
I will have to do trials to get antique clip then, that molten edict combo is too good.
Haven't played since early release got back into it due to a friend. I main War Pike feel like I'm doing OK but I'm not entirely sure how the playstyle is i.e should I be more poke or spin to win. I mainly spin to win since part damage seems to be a big part of it
For a new player is there an all around hammer you would suggest for my first Power Surge?
Helion, riftstalker or savyt. Best 3 in my opinion. All equally good I'd say. Helion if you are really new.
@@joshc.8489 Thanks I did the Riftstalker yesterday based on recommendations from discord.
@@vanadyan1674 I'd recommend power surging another weapon element as well. Helion or Savyt. Cause in higher level maps there are a number of strong umbral behemoths, and riftstalker weap won't be as effective.
What buttons do you press for mighty landbreaker? I’ve unlocked it I just have no idea how to do it.
Right click/top action button of controller. Using it after jumping is a massive timesave as well, since it doesn’t play the full animation
@@TheMrTrails Thanks!

Smart man 🥸📝
I just started playing the game again (I didn’t play it much in the first place) what would “the best” weapon type be?
For me, I feel like it's sword. Not crazy high stamina cost, has atk spd on special, dashing skill, realiable interrupt, and of course good dmg on heavy combos and dps.
Depends on what you’re doing, in everything but trials Axe completely annihilates
can i survive frost escalation without forging a hammer or is it a must to have a certain number of reforge for the hammer?
i'm currently using Axe but, i'm interested to start building hammer for the next weapon.
Little late, but reforging hammer only adds stagger damage, so as long as you have a good build, it doesn’t matter the reforge level
how to primed attack with xbox controller
hit x, and before your swing lands, hit y
What about knockout king?
The only use for knockout king would be if you need to stagger something, while dealing less damage to it. Normal damage sources will increase your stagger damage anyway, and you’re going to kill the behemoth faster
Next one make war pike pls
I use bomb cyclone for hammer can someone tell me a good build

ez hammer
bruh got thousands of potions
they are too hard to get because any moment spent gathering shit for potions and not fighting monsters its lame.
aren't potions like grenades where you can toggle over to pay for them via currency instead of crafting with pick ups?
@@DhDetails87 Yea well, not worth spending money just to get tonics lol. It's a free game, I'd like to keep it that way
@Josh C. in-game currency... not actual money
