Smelter Hammer

In-Game Description


Weapon wielded by the iron warriors
that wander Brume Tower.

Appears to have once been an axe,
but in this terribly melted state it is little more
than a great lump that crushes its foes
by virtue of its sheer weight.

Availability


Dark Souls 2 & Scholar of the First Sin:

  • Iron Warrior drop - very rare.

One-Handed Two-Handed
Light Attack standard downward smashes horizontal swipe followed by a double-hitting spin
Heavy Attack unique over-the-shoulder smash unique overhead smash followed by upward lunge which hits in front of and behind the player
Rolling Attack standard upward swipe unique upward lunge which hits in front of and behind the player
Running Attack unique leaping attack unique leaping attack that hits once lightly for no damage and then a second time where it lands for heavy damage
  • The two-handed parry is replaced with a unique attack that spins thrice and then lunges forward with great range but huge stamina consumption and a long period of vulnerability.

Notes


  • Has a slightly higher stamina consumption than other Great Hammers of 5-15%, depending on which attack is used.
  • Has the longest attack range of all Great Hammers.
  • Affectionately known as the "Chicken Leg" by some players, easier to notice when imbued with a Charcoal Pine Resin.
  • Like all Hammers and most Great Hammers it can't be infused with Bleed.
    • You can still deal bleed damage by enchanting it with a Bleeding Serum though.

Key


Damage:

The Damage stat dictates how much damage the weapon does. The Damage stats for a weapon are A / B / C / D / E:

  • A is Physical Damage
  • B is Magical Damage
  • C is Fire Damage
  • D is Lightning Damage
  • E is Dark Damage

Each weapon has one or more physical damage types:

  • Striking
  • Slashing
  • Thrusting

Certain enemies are weak or strong against different damage types.
See Weakness for physical reduction, Resistance for elemental reduction.

Aux Effect:

The Aux Effect stat dictates how effective the weapon will be at causing the effect. The Aux Effect stats for a weapon are A / B:

  • A is Poison Effect
  • B is Bleed Effect
Counter Strength: Damage multiplier when hitting an enemy that is performing an action such as attacking. Value of 100 means no extra damage.
Poise Damage: The ability of the weapon to break the poise of an enemy.
Stats Needed:

The Stats Needed determines how high various Stats must be in order to wield the weapon effectively.
The stats required for a weapon are A / B / C / D:

  • A is the Strength required
  • B is the Dexterity required
  • C is the Intelligence required
  • D is the Faith required

Wielding a weapon without the required Strength and/or Dexterity will incur a penalty to the Physical damage of the weapon,
while lower-than-required Magic and/or Faith will reduce the Magic damage of the weapon.

Also keep in mind that your character gains a 100% bonus to Strength by wielding a weapon with both hands, thus reducing
the actual Strength required. For example, a character with 14 Strength can wield a Great Club (Requires 28 Strength)
properly if the weapon is held with both hands. (14 x 2 = 28)
