How to Use Hammers

Hammers deal huge direct and AOE damage to enemies in exchange for large amounts of stamina. Wielding a hammer into battle requires you not only to balance your stamina but tests your timing as well. Every time you swing with a hammer, you wind up before slamming which leaves you exposed to counterattacks.
