Warhammers are a new type of melee weapon introduced by the Polarities Mod. They are swung over the player's head like a broadsword, but inflict heavy knockback and the Hammered debuff, lowering enemies' defense by a value and for a time dependent on the specific warhammer used. Additionally, only the hammer's head has a hitbox, meaning they will miss if used too close to smaller targets. However, some warhammers have a right-click functionality that functions like a different type of weapon instead, halving their damage and knockback and preventing them from inflicting Hammered but being much easier to aim with.
Types[ | ]
There are currently 34 different warhammers available, 12 of which are Hardmode-exclusive.
