11 The Hammer is one of the seven weapon types Elliot can carry. It swings slowly compared to other options, but each hit lands with exceptional force, making it well-suited for enemies that require sustained damage pressure.
22  
33 The Hammer is not available in the Prologue Demo and is unlocked later in the full game, though Hammer magicite can be collected ahead of time.

55 Attack Behavior
66  
77 Standard hammer swings are deliberate and wide. Because the attack animation is slow, landing hits requires attention to enemy movement and spacing. Despite that drawback, the raw damage output is among the highest of the available weapon types, rewarding players who commit to the timing.

99 Charged Special
1010  
1111 Holding the attack button charges the hammer into a devastating rush attack. Elliot surges forward and delivers a powerful blow on release. The charge covers noticeable ground and staggers enemies on contact; exact distance and damage values are not documented on this page.

1313 Traversal and Puzzle Use
1414  
1515 The hammer doubles as an environmental tool: it can pound pegs or stakes into the ground. Driven pegs serve as footholds for reaching elevated areas and as anchors for certain puzzle mechanisms, giving the hammer a secondary role in exploration beyond raw combat.

1919 Magicite for the Hammer covers shared pieces (Attack Up, Critical Rate Up, Charge Time Down, Critical Damage Up) as well as the weapon-specific pieces below. Higher rarity can strengthen an effect or lower its equip cost, depending on the piece. The table lists every piece available for the Hammer, with its effect at one star, its effect at five stars where it scales, and its equip cost. See Magicite for how pieces are formed and the Magicite Box for equip-cost limits.
