__TOC__
== Description ==
The hammer is a slow, powerful weapon with medium range. Its weapon technique is Charged Attack.
==Attack Pattern==
Its default attack pattern consists of four strikes; the fourth one has a significant recovery duration.
The dash attack is a quick forward strike, performed while jumping.
The weapon-switch attack is a faster-than-normal striking attack.
==Technique: Charged Attack==
Initiating charging drains a small amount of stamina, and continuing to charge the attack has a slow, continuous stamina drain.
The charged attack has two levels:
*Charge level 1 consists of an upward strike, arcing from the leg forward and around to the back.
*Charge level 2 consists of three spinning strikes moving forward as the occur. These attacks do damage in all directions.
*A third charge level is available with the Focus talent.
**Charge level 3 consists of one spinning strike, followed by a jump involving two spinning strikes, and three more strikes after landing.
The Super Armor talent allows you to use your attack input while charging to gain a single instance of super armor, preventing the next instance of damage.
*The Super Charger talent allows the next Charged Attack used to increase in power if you are attacked while Super Armor is active.
All stamina drain caused by using this technique is reduced by the Hammer Expert talent.
===Heavy Swings===
A charged attack is available via the Heavy Swings talent.
*The attack consists of two heavy strikes.
===Pain Suppression===
The Pain Suppression talent reduces damage taken while charging Heavy Swings or Charged Attack.
*The Blood for Blood talent removes this effect, instead replacing it with a damage buff for each in exchange for an increase in damage taken while charging either.
