The Iris One-Shot Hammer build uses the Patientia Bloodline: Iris which is a strength-focused Blood Code which aligns with the Tyrant's Labrys Hammer damage scaling. We also utilize the Flashing Fang Weapon Forma and combo it with different ones to utilize a one-shot build playstyle so you can delete Elites in one go and cut down Bosses.

This build for the Iris One-Shot hammer build has enough stats to retain an Unburdened state. Most of our stat burdens will land on Strength and Fortitude which Iris 3 can easily provide, although the build does not work with Iris 1 so getting at least its 2nd level is mandatory to the build.

The best Blood Code to equip at the earliest is the Patientia Bloodline: Iris 3 where it gives us enough Strength to wield Tyrant's Labrys and also have enough Mind margin for extra damage buffs after using our Jail.

Pain Carrier is one of the best hammers you can get in the game after maxing out Iris's affinity. It has decent Strength scaling which starts at A, and can also be slotted in with Flashing Fang which is a strong buffing weapon formae that we can use to combo with Blow of Madness and Mighty Smash for strong one-shot potential.

You can further strengthen the one-shot build with a second weapon as a buff stick to add more offensive support formae and stack more damage buffs for a bigger final output.

Recommended Jail

Jail Effects
Hound IconHound ・High balance while using its drain attack
・High balance stat to avoid getting flinched while using our own hammer attacks

The best Jail to equip is Hound thanks to its ability use its Drain Attack without getting staggered. It also has a naturally high balance stat that lets us get flinched less when using our own attacks, although it is mostly a stat-stick in this case as we will be rarely using jail attacks with the setup.

Battle Axe: IdrisBattle Axe: Idris's Conceit

The best bequeathed formae you can get early on is Idris's Battle Axe for a high DPS follow up after a stagger and Clotted Shield (Light) to avoid overburdening our build while also providing a guarding option.

The best and only boosters you can use early on for this build is Hammer Mastery and Strength Booster which amplifies our damage and helps alleviate Strength Burden effects in the build respectively. Blood-Fueled Strike is useful for maximizing our single-hit damage output, while Stamina Maximizer can be a flexible booster slot to further enable the build through increased resistances against specific Bosses you will take on.

Iris is the best partner to bring with this setup. She amps your vitality so you can take more hits as well as a defense up trait. Bringing her will also amp up her affinity with her so you can get her partner hammer later.

Stack On Next Hit Damage Buffs

The central focus of the build is its one-shot potential with its next hit stacking buff and Mighty Smash's burst damage. With the right setup and the right timing, you can pretty much, remove a huge chunk of a boss HP or outright delete their health bar.
