Weaknesses of this sword are pending.

Combo: An initial swing followed by a dash that can damage enemies 3 times, followed by a more damaging swipe.
Charge: The player lunges forward twice in succession, smashing down the hammer each time.

Only obtainable from Operation Crimson Hammer, this weapon occupies a unique niche. While its smaller range makes it a weaker option for crowd control, it is amazing at pulverizing stationary enemies.

In addition, the dash can be avoided if a player shield cancels when attacking.

• Amazingly high DPS if all attacks hit
• Charge can knock back enemies very far, damage them several times
• The dash can be used to escape from a crowd of enemies

• It is possible to dash into traps or spikes by accident
• Players attacking with the charge can move into traps or get hit easily
• Can only really target one enemy at a time
• Charge attack is very good at alerting Gun Puppies and Howlitzers
