Explosive Warhammer

The is a Very Rare Melee Weapon found in the game.
== Merging Recipes ==
* TNT + Hammer
== Usage ==
When used, it smashes the ground, creating a small shockwave. Simultaneously, 3 small explosive nodes are spawned. After the brief fuse time, they will detonate. Each node and the melee attack itself have identical damage values.
The melee attack may cause Stun while the explosions can cause Burn.
Unlike most melee weapons, this weapon is completely unusable without energy.
== Tips ==
=== Strategies ===
Despite being a weak defensive weapon with high energy cost, it is rather effective in an assault. As a hammer, it already does AoE damage, but the best part is the secondary attack, allowing it to cover an area much larger than most other melee weapons in one swing. Try smashing this into a group of enemies and see sparks fly.
Notably, the explosions are all able to cover the center of the main strike, so it's also quite effective even against single targets for 5 energy. The nodes are also able to damage enemies in tandem, and therefore, the possible damage dealt to any enemy could be well over 8, or even double of that value.
Overall, it offers much higher potential than traditional explosive weapons, outclassing even those of the Rocket Gun or the Explosive Crossbow. This comes at the cost of range, so try to utilize its burst potential and take out the enemies in 1-2 swings.
=== Recommended Buffs ===
* Laser Buff and Melee Range Buff - Enhances the area of effect.
* Fire Buff - Increases Burn damage.
* Reflect Buff - The primary attack can reflect bullets.
* Shotgun Buff - Adds 2 more nodes for a total of 5.
** Does not affect energy cost.
* The Accuracy Buff does not affect the formation of the spawned nodes.
