Hammer is a weapon in the Hammers category. It is a top-end blunt weapon that trades speed for massive impact, extremely long reach, and heavy stagger potential against armored and unarmored foes alike.
Combat Profile
Heavy HammerFrontline CrusherHigh Stagger
Role: End-game breaker that dominates bosses and elites with massive, stagger-heavy hits, using its reach and blunt impact to control space and punish over-extended enemies.
Synergy tips: Hammer works best with offensive on-hit runes like Drain Edge, Flaming Spark, Venom Crumb, and Blast Chip, turning each slow, committed swing into a burst of lifesteal, burn, poison, or explosions that chunks entire groups at once.

Playstyle
Hammer rewards pre-planned swings and patience. You want to line up enemies at mid-range, start your attack early, and let its massive head crash down as they commit to an attack or approach.
Strengths
Among the highest-damage melee weapons in the game.
Very long reach with huge, crushing hitboxes.
Excellent stagger and posture damage on heavier enemies.
Synergizes extremely well with on-hit and lifesteal runes.
Weaknesses
Extremely slow; missed swings leave you open.
Struggles against agile or ranged enemies that kite and punish recovery.
Requires strong positioning and timing to avoid getting interrupted.
