What this weapon solves
Hammer trades speed for impact. Charged attacks are strongest when the target is already committed or the team has created a controlled lane.
- Charge behind cover or after a teammate creates pressure.
- Use the heavy hit to interrupt a dangerous unit.
- Do not wind up in an exposed crossing without a fallback.
Build around the stance
The Hammer path changes the way Mercenary creates and finishes an opening. Pair it with skills that support its range, recovery, and escape pattern.
- Build the charge around a stun, knockdown, or clear recovery window.
- Choose one primary win condition before adding secondary stats.
- Keep a route home whenever the stance commits the hunter forward.
Field checklist
Test the weapon on the route where it will be used. A weapon is ready when the player can repeat its opening, answer its counter, and reach extraction without emptying every resource.
- Learn the first safe action against a common enemy.
- Practice the recovery after the main attack.
- Record the skill and affix priorities in the Build Planner.
