The best general-purpose build for the Hammer after the update is a setup that utilizes Second Wind equipment in tandem with Zoh Shia Armor. The key change from the pre-update builds is the reduction of Weakness Exploit level and the activation of Agitator Lv5. Affinity can reach up to 80% even without hitting a Wound.

The Zoh Shia Hammer is recommended if you can create sufficient attack opportunities even without Paralysis.

Starter Hammer Build

Weapon		Sharpness
Jailhammer II
Attack	Element	Critical	Defense
728	Paralysis 170	0%	0
Equipment Skill	Stamina Thief Lv2

Our recommended starting Hammer is the Jailhammer. While its attack is a little low, the Jailhammer's potential to paralyze enemies reliably creates openings even against monsters you are not yet familiar with. Additionally, we also recommend upgrading this Hammer as you progress through the story for the same reasons.

Chapter 3 Guardian Armor

	Armor	Skills
	G. Ebony Helm	Burst Lv1
	G. Ebony Mail	Bleeding Resistance Lv1
	G. Ebony Braces	Burst Lv1
	G. Ebony Coil	BurstLv1 Bleeding Resistance Lv1
	G. Rathalos Greaves	Weakness Exploit Lv1
	Hope Charm	Self-ImprovementLv1 Recovery Up Lv1

Active Skills
Ebony Odogaron's Power (4 Piece)	Guardian's Pulse (3 Piece)
Burst Lv3	Bleeding Resistance Lv2
Weakness Exploit Lv1	Self-Improvement Lv1
Recovery Up Lv1

Once you hit Chapter 3, we recommend crafting the G. Ebony Set which grants Burst Boost II. This effect modifies the Burst skill, triggering the attack boosts after just 1 hit, allowing even the Hammer to benefit from having this skill.

The recommended skills for the Hammer include Critical Boost, Attack Boost, and Master's Touch. Essentially, we are recommending skills that increase the damage dealt to monsters. We also recommend taking some QoL skills such as Focus to increase your charging speed, along with Slugger and Charge Up to increase the potency of your stunning attacks.

Recommended Armor Skills

Skill	Effect
Weakness Exploit	Recommended Lv.: ★★★ Increases the affinity of attacks that exploit a monster's weak points and wounds
Fulgur Anjanath's Will (Guardian Fulgur Armor Set)	Recommended Lv.: ★★・ Increases the affinity of attacks that exploit a monster's weak points and wounds
Maximum Might	Recommended Lv.: ★★・ Increases affinity if stamina is kept full for a period of time. ・ Only if you already have Fulgur Anjanath's Will
Marathon Runner	Recommended Lv.: ★★・ Slows down stamina depletion for actions that continuously drain stamina (such as dashing)
Constitution	Recommended Lv.: ★★・ Reduces stamina depletion when evading, blocking, or doing certain other actions.
Agitator	Recommended Lv.: ★★・ Increases attack power and affinity when large monsters become enraged.
Shock Absorber	Recommended Lv.: ★★・ Disables damage reactions when you hit a friend or when a friend hits you.
Burst	Recommended Lv.: ★・・ Continuously landing hits gradually increases attack and elemental attack. (Amount increased depends on weapon.)
Doshaguma's Might (Doshaguma Set)	Rating: ★・・ Temporarily grants attack after a successful Power Clash or Offset attack
Zoh Shia's Pulse (Zoh Shia's Armor Set)	Rating: ★・・ Automatically recovers health to maximum value even if there is no red health gauge in your HP bar.

The Recommended armor skills for Hammer in Monster Hunter Wilds include "Weakness Exploit", "Fulgur Anjanath's Will", and "Shock Absorber". Even if the Stamina added by "Fulgur Anjanath's Will" decreases, "Maximum Might" will not deactivate, so when used in combination with "Maximum Might", "Marathon Runner", and "Constitution", it becomes a very powerful skill. Marathon Runner and Constitution can be added as 1-slot decoration, so they are also recommended as skills to add to empty slots.
