 Great Hammer

Just Pestle is the best Great Hammer in Avowed because of the significant Attack Damage bonus it grants after a full combo. It also grants a small Stun bonus, which adds up since Stun is already high by default with Great Hammers.
Inevitability is a nice late-game alternative, but it is only obtainable in The Garden, well past the point of no return. This means there isn't much "game" left to play once you do get Inevitability which affects its overall ranking.
