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.

## Tips

* **The best way to take drones with SK8 Hammer is with two Normal Attacks, two Back Attacks, or a Normal and Back Attack each.**
* **Normal and Back Attacks can be used in quick succession by either jump or dash canceling during the move. This can be used to destroy drones faster.**
* **Wide Attack can also be canceled mid-move.**

**\*Tips in bold also apply to Sushi Axe & GR8 Gear.**
