How to Play Hammer in Albion Online

Q: What is the best armor to pair with Hammer?

Knight Armor: To provide a wind wall for your team after you engage. Stalker Hood: To reveal and debuff targets for your team. Caerleon Cape: To reset your Q ability for more sustained CC.

"Hammers focus on massive impact and long-duration crowd control. While Maces are often more versatile, Hammers excel at locking down specific targets for extremely long periods or providing the "hard" engage that decides a fight in seconds. The Great Hammer and Tombhammer are legendary in the Mists and small-scale PvP."
