Hammer Database: Verified Stats

A stat-reference database that refuses to fill unknown hammer names or values with guesses.

The shop image shows multiple hammer shapes, but it does not close a current name-and-value catalog.

Verified hammer dimensions

This is a four-field reference, not an invented hammer ranking.

4 dimensions

Damage

How much a successful hit removes from a target.

Higher damage can reduce hits needed, but does not describe speed or area.

Observe: Record the displayed value and hits needed on a comparable target.

Swing speed

How quickly the hammer can deliver repeated swings.

More swings can help throughput while still consuming stamina over time.

Observe: Compare hits delivered across the same measured duration.

Critical chance

The displayed chance for a critical hit.

Chance adds variance; a short run may not represent the long-run result.

Observe: Keep a larger hit sample before drawing a conclusion.

Hit radius

The area a swing can cover around its impact.

A larger radius can matter more for groups than for one isolated target.

Observe: Test single targets and dense groups as different tasks.

The four dimensions you can compare

Official material describes hammers through four stats: damage, swing speed, critical chance, and hit radius. Those dimensions can pull in different directions, which is why one “best hammer” claim is not dependable without the exact current values and a defined task.

Use the reference above

Search the dimension cards for the tradeoff you are trying to understand. Then record the value visible in your own build rather than copying a photographed shop price or an uncited table.

A safe observation record

For one hammer, note:

  • the displayed name, if visible;
  • all four displayed stats;
  • build or patch context;
  • the task you tested, such as a single target or a dense group;
  • at least one comparable run with another hammer.

That record can support a later entry. A screenshot showing several hammer shapes is useful for recognizing the shop, but it does not close names, current prices or a full stat table.

Use the Run Comparison Tool for your own observations, or the Skill Tree Guide when an upgrade rather than the hammer is the likely limiting factor.
