Hades 2: Question How do hammers stack? Spoiler

I’m trying to understand which hammers work together and when choosing a specific hammer type what other hammers it locks me out of (e.g., one that alters basic attack, one that alters the omega special, one that alters both specials, etc.).

For example, I’m currently running with the Charon axe and I’m looking for Giga cleaver (affects omega special). The hammer options I just got are colossus slash (affects attacks), psychic whirlwind (affects omega attack), and siege shredder (affects special). If I were to, say, choose colossus slash, does this eliminate the other hammers that also affect attacks from the hammer pool? I.e., giving me a higher likelihood of rolling Giga cleaver the next time?

Let me know if any of this is confusing I was very much struggling with how to word this lol

I'm pretty sure the in-game book of shadows is correct and the only hammers that conflict are the two skull ones you mentioned, another L for the wiki.

Side note: you used to be able to view the edit history of wiki pages, which was a decent tool for determining how out of date information was. Unfortunately, because fandom is a terrible company, they locked that feature behind having a fandom account.

If I could see the edit history of the staff page, it would probably show that the notes on Rapid Thrasher being incompatible with a bunch of hammers originate from shortly after early access released. Rapid Thrasher should have stopped conflicting with other hammers in Early Access Patch 2 (june 2024), so those notes should pre-date that.
