Build Merits This Poison Hammer build takes advantage of the new Buildup Boost skill introduced in Title Update 2. Staple offensive skills are included in the build and are fit to synergize with the build's poison-centric skills: Chameleos Blessing, Poison Attack, Buildup Boost, and Foray.
For QoL, Handicraft and Protective Polish are included to give Kaktus Unwetter's purple sharpness a bit of longevity. Flinch Free and Wirebug Whisperer are also added for utility.
During hunts, aim to hit the monster's head to take advantage of the build's 90% affinity, which can be further improved by augmenting it and adding Affinity Boost for an additional 5% boost. Make sure to also constantly buildup and proc poison on your target for maximum damage!
Additionally, remember to replace Anti-Species Decorations on the weapon's Rampage Decoration slot depending on the monster you will hunt!

Best Hammer Skills

Best Hammer Skills

Critical Boost
★★★ 		More damage from critical strikes. With Critical Eye and Weakness Exploit, this skill's value rises more.

Speed Sharpening
