Hammer
| ||||
|
The Hammer (Japanese: ハンマー Hammer) is an axe-type weapon which was introduced in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and has appeared in every game except one since Thracia 776 (skipping only Echoes: Shadows of Valentia). It is a heavy polearm designed to fight heavily armored units, and is very effective against Knights, Generals and similar classes. However, it is also very heavy even compared to other axes, slowing down its wielder prior to the removal of weight in New Mystery of the Emblem, and its accuracy is poor.

Trivia
- Radiant Dawn's US help description erroneously refers to the Hammer as part of the weapon type it belongs to instead of calling it by its name. This was corrected in the European release.

Hammer |
More specifically, this weapon's effect resembles a war hammer, a hammer mounted on a long handle designed for use in combat. War hammers rose to prominence in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries for their ability to injure foes in plate armor more effectively than swords. The Fire Emblem hammer is depicted with a much larger head than that of an actual war hammer, however. |
