Hammer Move Tier List Explained

SS Tier

These hammer moves are the most used and recommended to use in every battle against every enemy you encounter. They consistently provide high damage with every swing that hits an enemy.

Use badges that increases your attack more like P-Up, D-Down or Power Plus to pulverize every enemy in every battle. Hammerman can also be used to increase your hammer attacks, but in return you cannot use jump moves.

S Tier

These hammer moves can provide high damage against most enemies you can encounter, but some of them can be irrelevant. With the help of Hammerman they can still be very helpful in defeating your enemies.

For example, Power Smash and Ice Smash are good hammer moves overall but can be replaced with Quake Hammer and Fire Drive that can easily defeat multiple ground enemies at once.

A Tier

These hammer moves provide a low amount of damage and become irrelevant once you obtain better ones. Although, they can still can provide substantial damage when buffed with other badges and such.

Hammer Throw would be an exception for all hammer moves due to it being the only hammer move that can damage flying enemies. Although, it deals low amount of damage but can be increased with Power Plus.
