Hammers

Hammers

Hammers are Warrior weapons focused on disruption through Slows and Stuns, and have some options for greater mobility than other disruption-focused weapons like Maces. Hammers are unlocked by the Hammer Fighter node on the Destiny Board.

Once unlocked, the following weapons can be used:

Standard Weapons: Crafted using common resources, these weapons tend to be much easier to obtain than Artifact Weapons.

Weapon	Type
Hammer	1-hand
Great Hammer	2-hand
Polehammer	2-hand

Artifact Weapons: Require specific artifact items to craft, start with higher Item Power than Standard Weapons, and benefit less from Enchantment Levels.

Weapon	Type	Crafted Using	Base IP Bonus
Tombhammer	2-hand	Ancient Hammer Head (Rune Artifact)	+1 tier
Forge Hammers	2-hand	Hellish Hammer Heads (Soul Artifact)	+2 tiers
Grovekeeper	2-hand	Engraved Log (Relic Artifact)	+3 tiers
Hand of Justice	2-hand	Massive Metallic Hand (Avalonian Artifact)	+4 tiers
