Hammer: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

Hammers are a recurring weapon type in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest ~~series~~]]. In the early series they tended to function as early and mid-game weapons, bowing out to swords as the player approached the final few areas in the games. However, they still found a place in many a player's inventory thanks to the [[Hela hammer]], one of the most useful tools for besting [[Metal Slime]]s.

Hammers are referred to as ''Clubs'' in DQ8, and are one of the three weapon categories that former bandit [[Yangus]] can equip himself with. Clubs are primarily chosen for brute strength over attack options, with all available skills focusing on bludgeoning a single target for high damage or knocking them senseless for a turn. As with the other weapon families, investing skill points into hammers will improve the user's critical hit rate from 1/64 to 1/16 when equipped.
