Hamon

## Overview

Hamon is one of the 3 powers the player can have and this power is good for taking out undead mobs.

## Obtaining

In order to obtain Hamon, you must find the Hamon Temple in the mountain biome. After locating and entering it, you will see the Hamon Master, who can teach you Hamon if you right click him. Right clicking other player Hamon users will make you able to learn Hamon.

## Training

To train your Hamon, you must take into account following stats.

* **Hamon Strength:** Determines the power of you Hamon attacks. It is trained by using Hamon attacks and punching with an empty hand, **you must have the appropriate amount of Hamon for it to level up (for a completely normal punch the Hamon is equal to the Healing Ability).**

* **Hamon Control:** Determines the amount of Hamon energy spent and efficiency of your Hamon abilities. It is trained by using Hamon abilities, the more cost efficient move the more points you get but it is strongly advised to always use the **Healing** ability since it is the fastest.

* **Breathing Technique:** Your most important stat as you need to constantly train it in order to make progress in learning Hamon. To train your breathing technique, you have to complete these 4 exercises daily (Mining, Running, Swimming and Meditation).

Average exercise progress. The more it exceeds 50%, the more your breathing technique level will increase by the end of the day. To speed up your training you can craft a **Breath Control Mask** however it has permanent curse of binding (only Crazy Diamond can remove it).

Once you understand the stats to unlock a skill you must raise 5 levels Hamon Strength (in case a skill from the Combat Skills tab) or Hamon Control (in case a skill from the Supportive Skills tab). You then go to the Hamon master, cannot be a player, and choose a skill.

**The higher the control/strength level the more effective/strong each move is. The regeneration, for example, lasts 5s at the beginning at max 60 control it will become Regeneration 3 with 10s, this principle works with all moves. Hamon also boosts your attack-speed making the combat similar to 1.8.9...**

*Breathing technique also boosts your stand stamina regen.*
