Hammer: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 00:02, 23 August 2022

Version 0.29: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

This page is about the weapon. For the obsolete card, see Hammer card.

A blunt striking weapon, essentially equivalent to a mace.

"The hammah that John Henry swung,
It weighed over nine poun',
He broke a rib in his left han' side,
And his intrils fell on the groun',
And his intrils fell on the groun'."

-Onah L. Spencer, _John Henry_. Early 20th cent.

This weapon falls into the Maces & Flails category. It is a one handed weapon, and it is better for the strong.

The hammer is a novelty weapon with the same stats as a mace. It can only be found in vaults, most notably Crazy Yiuf's cottage.

-The '''hammer''' is a novelty weapon with mediocre combat performance which you can only find in [[vault]]s, most notably [[Crazy Yiuf|Crazy Yiuf's]] cottage. Although functional early on, their mediocre damage output makes them a poor choice after the earliest floors. Keep an eye out for a good [[mace]], [[flail]], or [[morningstar]] to replace it. Due to its superior speed, even a [[whip]] is often a better weapon, particularly if it has a good brand such as [[electrocution]].
