Sledgehammers

Clubs Two-handed

Sledgehammers do not strike a single target but the whole area around the point of impact (about 5 m) and stagger everything they hit. They excel against groups of enemies rather than in duels. Two-handed.

Main damage Blunt
Elements in variants fire, frost, lightning

Why choose it

  • Area strikes scatter and stagger crowds
  • Blunt against skeletons and blobs
