Kirk Hammer Cult. Help convert me before its too late
I love Ludwig's Holy Blade a bit too much. I've been trying to give the Kirk Hammer some love, but it seems so Awkward to use, and I always end up just turning to the Blade. People call the Ludwigs Holy Blade a boring one-trick pony, but the Only thing people say when they give advice for this weapon is to use the charged R2s. It does feel awesome to pull off a bonk, but that's the only thing I like about the weapon. I understand that it can stun-lock a lot of enemies with R1's, but it feels like it's not doing as much damage as it should with how slow and precise you have to be with the Kirk. Ludwig's Holy Blade just has amazing damage. Worazontal, Vertical, and thrusting attacks that all feel like they're just made to cleave through beasts.
Please god help me understand the Kirk way! What does it have more of than the Blade other than BONK.
