History in the Meta
Hammers bring some of the longest stun durations in the game. They alternate with Maces in the meta depending on whether the patch favors raw stuns (Hammers) or silences/purges (Maces).
🌍
Where it Shines
They are exceptional in choke-point defenses, ZvZ engages, and 5v5 arenas where their gigantic AoE stuns can completely neutralize an enemy backline.
🤝
Best Synergies
A Hammer engages best when supported by Arcane Staffs (for shields/empowerment) or followed by high-burst melee assassins like Daggers who capitalize on the stuns.
