Hammer
Brutal • Powerful • Devastating



One of the most brutal and damaging styles out there. Originating from the Giants, only those with well-built bodies and strong muscles can wield this weapon with ease.

The Hammer is usually a two-handed weapon, but some individuals with great strength (Warlords, Giants, etc.) can attempt to wield it with one hand. Hammers are used for breaking bones and cracking ribs, but is also commonly used among miners and demolition experts.
• Must have 8 or higher strength to learn

Back Breaker
Rank: E
Description: The most basic move, the user swings their arms upwards until the hammer is above their head, then brings it down with full force onto their opponent/the ground. Usually used in combination with other skills.
(Note: The user can also swing it sideways if they wish)

Impact
Rank: E (costs energy)
Description: The user focuses energy into their hammer, giving it more power (+1 Rank to Hammer Attacks)(Costs 10 energy each post active.)

Brutal Force
Rank: D
Description: By stepping to the side, the user then spins on their heel, swinging the hammer around with them. When hit by this, the victim will feel as if they've been hit by a train.

Skull Bash
Rank: D
Description: Much like the Back Breaker technique, however instead, the user jumps high into the air, and comes crashing down on their enemies.

Quake
Rank: D
Description: The user slams the head of their hammer on the ground, causing the ground to shake and knock everyone within a 12 ft radius of them to lose their balance.

Charge
Rank: D
Description: The user charges the the enemy with their hammer held outwards in a way so that the top of the head of the hammer is the part that makes impact. Can be used in conjunction with other skills.

Fissure
Rank: C (costs energy)
Requirements: Impact
Description: By focusing energy into their hammer, the user slams the face of the hammer into the ground or swing it into someone. Once the hammer makes contact, the energy is released into the ground and causes the land to shake violently. Everyone in the area (thread) will feel this and lose their balance.


Mutilate
Rank: B (costs energy)
Requirements: Impact
Description: The user focuses energy into the hammer, much like Fissure. However, instead of slamming the face of the hammer on the ground, the user slams the face of the hammer onto their opponent. Once the hammer makes contact, the energy releases on the person and the force of the hit causes them to fly a good 20 ft. The victim may end up with several broken bones and, if they were hit in the right spot, this may even be fatal.

Great Fissure
Rank: B (costs energy)
Requirements: Impact, Fissure
Description: They do the exact same thing as fissure, except by storing more energy into the hammer, when the hammer makes impact with the ground, it will force multiple towers of earth from the ground, completely changing the landscape. Plus, everyone in the thread is immobilized for one post from the tremors.

Warlord Only Techniques

Great Desolation
Rank: S (costs energy)
Requirements: Impact
Description: By focusing a great amount of energy into the hammer, the user swings the hammer. Halfway through the swing, all of the energy stored up is released and shot outwards in a 10 ft wide, 10 ft tall wave of energy that travels up to 10 ft. If this connects with an opponent, they WILL get broken bones, thrown a good 50 ft away, and possibly killed. This wave pacts the same punch as a train moving at 300 mph.
