Hamedo doesn't work on monsters, so it's best to equip it when you fight some story battles. It does work on Zodiac bosses, like Velius. I killed Velius with Hamedo. And yes, a long range weapon user with hamedo might kill, but I don't know if it's effective against short range users. I think if you use a gun and you have hamedo, you might pary all of Balk's attacks.
Yes, that...guy... Balk. I hate his guts, because he has long range and he's a sniper.
Heya!
I'll explain EVERYTHING about Hamedo:
First, what triggers it is PHYSICAL ATTACK. Since monster uses SPECIAL ATTACKS, Hamedo doesn`t work.
SPECIAL ATTACKS are rather different from PHYSICAL ATTACKS or MAGIC ATTACKS.They can be counered, but never hamedoed even if your brave was 100000000. Choco Ball or Choco Meteor can be countered by Counter Magic, But not Hamedoed. The same fro choco attack: It can be countered but not hamedoed.
If you`re equipped with a Bow, Crossbow or Gun (including magic ones) you may ONLY counterattack/hamedo the ranged attacks. It will not work for near ones. Spears or Papyrus will counter/hamedo the same as normal range. Harps will only counter/hamedo 3 panels away of attacker (so, it will only counter bow/gun attacks, but since only a sucker archer would attack from 3 panels of range, don`t use hamedo/counter on bards... anyway, their PA sucks).
So... only use HAMEDO when you`re in Story Battles and you`re facing humans.
Hamedo is fun for a while.... especially with a Chemist or gun-using dude.... but ever since I got blade grasp.... I am a brave-raising blade-grabbing moron!!! its totally awesome! any little non-magic attack is el block-o'ed!!! and the magic.... umm... i just innocent myself using Beowulf
