Greathorn Hammer

Notes

• Requires 22 Strength and 10 Dexterity and weighs 10.0. Its Standard physical damage favors Strength, with a smaller Dexterity contribution. The ordinary hits deal strike damage.
• While the weapon is active, an enemy death restores 2% of your maximum HP plus 20 HP. For example, at 1,000 maximum HP that is 40 HP per qualifying death. It is not continuous regeneration and does not heal on every hit.
• The hammer does not need to land the final blow. You can keep it in your other active hand while another weapon or a spell kills enemies. Leaving it in an inactive equipment slot does not provide the recovery.
• Cold affinity is a useful exception: it adds magic damage and Frostbite but gives this hammer no Intelligence scaling. Strength and Dexterity remain its damage-scaling attributes on Cold, and Arcane does not increase the Frostbite buildup.
• Can use compatible Ashes of War and affinities. Heavy supports a Strength focus, while other choices change the damage and status options. Grease or a weapon enchantment can be applied while using an affinity that allows weapon buffs.
• Starts with Barbaric Roar, costing 16 FP for a 40-second physical-damage buff and altered heavy attacks. You can replace it with another compatible skill if you prefer a different attack pattern.
• Upgrade with Smithing Stones to +25. Upgrades improve the weapon's direct damage rather than the fixed percentage and flat amount of healing.
• Hammer-carrying Ancestral Followers drop it at a base 2% chance. This is different from Envoy's Greathorn, Winged Greathorn and the singing shaman's headband reward.
