SK8 Hammer

The SK8 Hammer is a weapon in Ninjala. It is part of the Hammer Type A subclass.
==Description==
"A gum weapon that's ridiculously powerful at full size. Particularly effective at countering with abilities and specials." - In-game description
The SK8 Hammer is a hammer-type weapon with a very high damage output. Similar to other weapons in its class, it has very high HP, but very slow speed. Appearance-wise, a handle is attatched to two large purple skateboard wheels, with a black skateboard adorned on the front of the hammer, and "Ride a Rampage" inscribed in red and "SK8" in light blue on the front of each wheel, with flames on the skateboard and wheels.

Power Buster is the default Special of the Hammer Type A subclass. It is a strong, weapon-breaking, unblockable attack. After pressing the Special button the user charges an upcoming attack. While charging the user is covered in Super Armor, making them invulnerable to hit stun. The upcoming attack looks like a Normal Attack but has devastating power as it not only ignores Gum Guard and S-Burst but also destroys the opponents weapon. Power Buster can also be canceled midway. The user benefits from Super Armor and can mixup options. This still depletes the Special but the cooldown time is reduced.
Attack 	Base Damage	Down Value	Hit Reaction	Properties
Power Buster	90 	50% 	blowback 	Super Armor, unblockable, weapon break, cancelable

"Attack by throwing your hammer." - In-game description

It slow execution speed makes it dificult to integrate into combos but it competes very high up in the list of priorities. It beats out Razor Edge of Katana Type A weapons, Sonic Trick of Board Type B weapons and every Gum Shoot, except for Gum Ghost.
