Banhammer

banhammer is a melee item in item asylum. It is a large, dark-colored mallet.
==Functionality==
Equipping banhammer will cause a voice to say "Ban!".
Using banhammer causes the user to briefly wind up before swinging banhammer in front of them. Those struck by banhammer are dealt 55 damage and inflicted with strong knockback. banhammer has a one second cooldown between swings.
Enemies killed by banhammer are turned neon, with each body part rapidly shrinking in size before disappearing.
===Smash [E]===
The user will prepare an overhead swing before slamming the banhammer downward. If the user is on the ground when the banhammer is slammed downward, a crater is formed in the ground, and enemies within 12 studs of the user are dealt 75 damage, inflicted with ragdoll, and strongly knocked away from the user. If the user is aerial when the banhammer is slammed downward, no crater is formed, and enemies near the user are not harmed. Smash has a 7 second cooldown if successful, or a 3.5 second cooldown if missed.
==Tips==
*Although banhammer has a high damage output with a low cooldown, its knockback can easily shove opponents out of range.
** Conversely, its strong knockback makes it feasible for earning environmental kills. Use it cautiously.
*Avoid swinging carelessly; banhammer's windup, although short, can easily cause its attacks to miss. Make sure to land the Smash ability often as well.
*To counteract with the strong knockback bashing opponents out of range, something like spear or warp could solve this issue, especially with both their range. 
**Adding on to this, warp should be used in semi-closed spaces, otherwise, they’ll fall off the map. For spear, recommend using it on an opponent that has weaker weapons than you, that way you can easily get a kill.
*Smash's hitbox will not register if the user has been inflicted with hitstun while the ability is being winded up.
