	Elderseal	Slots	Defense Bonus
	-	2/2/-	-

Default Sharpness

Buona Florescenza's raw base damage is 1300. It also has 660 poison damage, making it easier to tick down a monster's life.

Has A Long White Sharpness Gauge

Buona Florescenza has a long white sharpness gauge making it bluntly good in damage retention. It can also be enhanced to a purple gauge with Handicraft.

Best Endgame Hammer: Tier 2

The Grinding Mallet

	Attack Power	Element	Affinity
	1508	(Paralysis 330)	0%
	Elderseal	Slots	Defense Bonus
	-	4/-/-	-

Default Sharpness

High Raw Damage

The Grinding Mallet's raw 1508 damage allows it to smash faces efficiently. If you're not using use Free Elem / Ammo Up Skill, use Non-Elemental Boost skill instead for a flat 5% damage increase to your raw damage.

Protective Coating May Net You More Mileage

While you can get The Grinding Mallet to a purple sharpness gauge, you might get more mileage out of Protective Coating since the length of the purple gauge isn't too long.

Paralysis With Free Elem / Ammo Up Skill

Paralysis damage of 330 might not be much considering the Free Elem / Ammo Up skill needed to activate it, but combined with Lv4 slot that The Grinding Mallet has, you have more freedom to explore non-conventional builds.

Best Endgame Hammer: Tier 3

Dawning Tranquility

	Attack Power	Element	Affinity
	1456	(Dragon 480)	0%
	Elderseal	Slots	Defense Bonus
	(High)	1/1/0	+30

Default Sharpness

High Raw Damage With Great Utility

Dawning Tranquility has a decently high 1456 raw damage, 2 slots, and a +30 Defense bonus making it a very well-rounded choice.

Can Reach Purple Sharpness With Handicraft

Dawning Tranquility can reach purple sharpness gauge through the Handicraft Skill, giving it a good burst potential if you time your sharps right.

Use Non-Elemental Boost If Not Planning To Use Free Elem/Ammo Up

Non-Elemental Boost skill will increase 5% raw damage when Free Elem/Ammo Up skill isn't up. With its high base attacks, 5 % is huge, so plan accordingly.
