Golden Crab Warhammer

The is a Legendary Melee Weapon found in the game.
It is the motif weapon of Giant Golden Crab.
== Usage ==
Slams the ground, generating a large shockwave. It also spawns a single spike at the point of impact, and 1 ring of 8 spikes with the radius of 3 tiles after 0.75 seconds. Both attacks deal 8 damage and can destroy enemy projectiles. The spikes can push mobile enemies, and will despawn after 0.75 seconds.
The shockwave has a chance to inflict Stun while the spikes may Burn.
It can't be used when out of energy.
== Tips ==
=== Strategies ===
The is an underwhelming weapon if used normally (simply holding down the attack button, as done with several other weapons). Although designed to be an offensive weapon, its potential is limited by the fact that the task of approaching enemies is made much tougher with its slow attacks. Enemies would have most likely evaded the spikes by the moment its abilities are triggered, so it will only work well against very dense mobs as a result. Bosses are also an exception, as they are usually slow enough to land a hit on and can bump into the spikes frequently. It is highly advisable to bring another melee backup weapon for defensive purposes as the weapon itself rarely even assists in that regard.
However, if used correctly, can deal good DpS, crowd control and keep the player safe from most threats (except lasers, explosions, shockwaves, environmental hazards, melee attacks and contact damage), this is achieved by: attacking, switching weapons and switching back to in order to attack again, which instantly resets the backswing of the weapon, repeatedly doing this will make a constant ring around the player, but beware of its energy cost.
=== Recommended Buffs ===
* - The weapon can spawn a 2nd, outermost ring after 1.5 seconds, which has 10 spikes.
* - Only affects the first spike, but if it triggers, that spike and its subsequent ring(s) will have the effect.
* - Increases Burn damage.
* and - Increase the shockwave's radius.
* - The melee attack and spikes can reflect bullets.
* - Increases the number of spikes of the 1st and 2nd rings by 2.
=== Recommended Conditions ===
* - As the player can quickly switch weapons to attack with it again immediately, bypassing most of the decreased fire rate and greatly increasing its DPS.
