Hammer Overview Hammer features a mix of short and long-range moves with a versatile kit. Its strength lies in variable force and its ability to condition and punish opponents. Hammer allows players to choose between aggressive play or reserved, calculated tactics.

Available Hammer Legends There are nine Hammer legends in Brawlhalla:

• Bödvar
• Cassidy
• Nash
• Scarlet
• Sentinel
• Teros
• Yumiko
• Thor
• Kor

Each brings a unique stat spread. Focus on speed and force for stronger engagement potential; deck is more niche but useful in specific combos.

Move Set Breakdown

• NLight (Neutral Light): Quick jab, low-range, best used to cover whiffs or finish light combos.
• DLight (Down Light): Stomp with mid-range coverage, ideal for punishes and combo starters.
• SLight (Side Light): Horizontal swipe, high priority late in animation. Soft SLights give better stun.
• NAir (Neutral Air): Huge hitbox, strong juggle and pressure tool.
• SAir (Side Air): Slow swing with great space control. Not always meant to hit but forces movement.
• DAir (Down Air): Scooping hit below; great disengage or anti-air approach.
• Recovery: Excellent vertical reach and KO potential. One of the best offstage tools.
• Ground Pound: Strong downward strike with high force; decent edge coverage.

True Combos All HP Ranges:

• DLight > SAir
• DLight > Recovery
• DLight > NAir

Low HP Combos:

• DLight > SLight > SAir
• NLight > NLight
• SLight > NLight > DLight
• NLight > DLight > SAir
• NLight > SAir
• SLight (Soft) > NLight

Mid to Late HP:

• DLight > SAir

Strings & Reads

• DLight > DLight
• DLight > SLight
• NLight > SLight > NAir
• SLight > SAir > NAir
• SLight > GC DLight
• SLight > Dash > SAir (dodge reads)
• NLight > Dodge Read > SAir

These strings increase your damage potential and allow for conditioning. Learn how to adjust your pressure based on dodge habits.

---

Neutral Game & Spacing Hammer excels with deliberate spacing. Avoid throwing out moves randomly—each attack has long active frames and recovery.

• Use movement to bait responses
• Dash to pressure with SLight and DLight
• Drift NAir to zone in the air

Control the pace, push your opponent into uncomfortable positions and keep track of their habits.

---

Edgeguarding & Offstage Hammer is a powerhouse offstage:

• Recovery is strong, especially reversed
• Ground Pound is great on wall or jump callouts
• SAir and DAir control airspace and ledge

Use these tools with patience. Juggle with NAir. Use SAir for wall bounce kills and forced landings.

---

Tips & Kill Options

• Juggle with NAir early; know when to stop (variable force decays)
• Use DLight > SAir or DLight > DAir for reliable confirms
• GC DLight > SAir is great under pressure
• SAir kills around 190, NLight around 200, DAir and Recovery as early as 150

Movement Tips

• Dash pressure creates forced responses
• Chase dodge to maintain juggle
• Know hitbox range, recovery frames, and fall speed

---

Matchups

• Strong against: Katars (spacing), Gauntlets (priority)
• Weak against: Lance (ground game), some ranged weapons

Adapt based on character kit. Sentinel’s Sigs and Cassidy’s high dexterity allow strong confirms.

---

Closing Advice Hammer rewards players who understand space, tempo, and punishment. Early combos allow high damage builds, while late-game play requires solid reads and positioning. It’s a great weapon for learning fundamentals and pushing them to their peak.
