Myles' Mechanic Guide

I believe Punch Launcher gets a bigger damage boost than Atomic Hammer when you have Accelerator out. I'm pretty sure they're equally strong, it's just the ranges that vary. Personally I used them both a lot, but Punch Launcher has a nice horizontal range that allowed me to avoid using rush at Duals. Another thing is, if you need like 3 hits to kill a mob, you can't spam Hammer. Hammer makes your mobs fly up and your next hit will miss if you try to Hammer again. So in that situation Punch would be the better choice. But I suppose if you 1 hit everything anyway you can just Hammer + Rush your way to 120.
