Hammer

Hammers are enemies that are found in the Prison Depths.

Behavior

 * Their primary attack releases four grenades on the ground. These have properties similar to regular explosives.
 * If they become aware of the player, they may also spawn a horde of Sewer Flies

Strategy

 * The Hammer is sturdy and tanky, on top of its far-reaching attacks. It is therefore an extremely dangerous threat.
 * Your safest bet is to try to kill them from afar with a ranged weapon or skill so as to keep them from being able to easily reach you. this strategy works with most enemies in the game as well.
 * Another strategy you could use, which also works with many enemies, is simply overwhelming it and killing it before it can actually do anything, which could be done in any number of ways, such as hitting it with both skills at once and then with your main weapon, or applying a debuff that increases damage dealt to it, such as with the Hokuto’s Bow, or even skills such as Phaser or the Grappling Hook. The less time it’s alive, the less chance you will have of taking a hit.
 * Any form of projectile reflection (parrying, Shovel, Wave of Denial, Tornado, etc.) can be very helpful, since reflected bombs do area-of-effect damage which can help clean up the Sewer Flies, and likely hit the Hammer for decent damage even if it impacts a Fly.
 * Stun, freeze and root effects can be great for preventing the Hammer from attacking, and letting you kill it before it can recover.

Trivia

 * Previously named Mechanical Spider.
 * Prior to the 2.0.0 Update (Barrels O' Fun), Hammer was an exclusive enemy in Prison Depths.
