Crusher

Split roster/comparison scaling grades into Rare and Epic tiers
Crusher is a Rare / Epic club-class melee weapon in Windrose. A hefty mace. A well-aimed blow can send someone into a deep sleep for hours.
Clubs are one-handed blunt Crude weapons that scale with Strength. Clubs cannot Perfect Block, so club builds lean into heavy-stagger hits, posture damage, and Strength-stat bonuses.
Field | Value |
|---|---|
Weapon Class | |
Rarity | Rare / Epic |
Damage | 290 Crude |
Scaling | Strength (C at Rare, B at Epic) |
ATK (Item Level 15) | 380 |
ATK (Level 1 crafted) | 100 |
Stack Size | 1 |
Flavor | Watching an enemy's knees give way after a good swing: priceless. |
Rare and Epic variants share a base effect. Ascending the Rare to Epic at the Weaponsmith Workshop preserves the Rare effect and stacks an additional bonus on top.
Tier | Effect |
|---|---|
Rare | Hits have a small chance to knock enemies down. The higher your Strength, the higher the chance. |
Epic (adds) | Deals 10% bonus Damage to pirates, outlaws, and other cutthroats. |
Craft at the Weaponsmith Workshop (Level 1). Base recipe: Wood x10, Copper Ingot x5.
Ascending the Rare variant at the Weaponsmith Workshop converts it into the Epic variant and unlocks the Epic bonus line. Ingredients: Crusher x1, Tumbaga Ingot x7. The ascension consumes the Rare weapon. See Tumbaga Ingot for sourcing notes and Upgrade System for the full ascension mechanic.
Dropped from pirate camp chests and Blackbeard lieutenant caches.
Shares loot slots with Sturdy Mace and other Strength-scaling clubs.
Specific chests and drop locations currently listed on the live item card:
Chest Source | Location | Chance |
|---|---|---|
Old Skeleton | Ancient Grave | 1.0% |
Scales well against the game's most common enemy faction at Epic. The knockdown chance stacks with Bonebreaker-talent stagger to lock down elites.
Trade-hit with heavy swings and stagger chains since clubs cannot Perfect Block. Keep an eye on posture bars because most club effects and talents compound when enemies are staggered rather than just damaged.
Strength-scaling weapons pull from the Strength and Mastery branches of the Talent System. Relevant picks include talents that boost Crude damage, two-handed melee damage, posture break on staggered enemies, and stamina-efficient heavy attacks. Strength weapons also pair well with the Crusher talent branch when it is available as a training option.
See the Talent System article for the current list of unlockable talents and their exact bonus values. Respeccing talents costs an in-game currency, so early-game branch commitments tend to lock in weapon pairings for the rest of the playthrough.
Crusher sits alongside 5 other clubs on the current live index. Consider the alternatives:
Club: Uncommon, 280 Crude, Strength (B). no special effect
Swamp Creature's Tooth: Rare / Epic, 280 Crude, Strength (B). Critical Hits with this weapon no longer deal bonus Damage, but instead trigger a burst of Distortion, dealing Damage to all nearby enemies.
Smasher: Uncommon, 225 Crude, Strength (A). Hits have a small chance to knock enemies down. The higher your Strength, the higher the chance.
Bonebreaker: Rare / Epic, 300 Crude, Strength (B at Rare, A at Epic). The more Stamina you have, the more Damage the weapon deals.
Sturdy Mace: Rare / Epic, 295 Crude, Strength (A at Rare, S at Epic). Increases Posture Points by 1.
