Consisting of a spiked hammerhead on a medium haft reinforced by langets, this blunt weapon can deliver significant striking force and can even pierce through armour.

"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.

Although it has high accuracy, the mediocre damage output of the hammer makes it a poor choice after the earliest floors. Keep an eye out for a good mace, morningstar, or spiked flail 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.
