High Damage Physical Weapon

The Hammer has the second-highest physical damage out of all the hammers in the game. It has the default move set for hammers which consist of short-range striking attacks and crushing charged attacks that can greatly benefit from the effects of the Axe Talisman.

It is a good versatile weapon for high Strength players looking for a customizable armament that can deal high damage to Poise. Its moderately fast attacks can be used apply status effects and Ashes of War such as Seppuku, Chilling Mist, or Poisonous Mist are recommended as additional damage sources.

Infusable with Ashes of War

This weapon can be infused with Ashes of War and has the weapon skill Kick by default. When activated it performs a strong kick that is effective against an enemy's guard and can break Poise.

The kick is guaranteed to open up a blocking enemy for a critical attack and stagger high Poise enemies. Pairing this with the Dagger Talisman will enhance the damage dealt by critical strikes.
