Polehammer
Strength

Agility

The polehammer is a long-hafted warhammer designed for maximum reach and impact against armored foes while still being used 1-handed. Mounted on a shaft between 1.2 and 1.5 meters, it combines a heavy hammer face for crushing force with a reinforced armor-piercing spike on the reverse. The extended length allows its wielder to deliver staggering blows from beyond sword range, disrupt formations, and unseat mounted opponents. Its construction concentrates massive force into small impact points, capable of denting or breaching even advanced armor plating.

In Cosmic Odyssey, the polehammer is forged from high-density alloys and reinforced composites, retaining its brutal armor-breaking role while benefiting from improved balance and shock absorption. It excels in open-field engagements, defensive lines, and situations where reach can be used to control the battlefield. However, in tight corridors or when faced with agile opponents, its size and swing time demand precise timing and skilled positioning to maintain effectiveness.
