  • It has no weaknesses compared to the other supers.

  • Well, you're technically excluding some weaknesses

  • Which ones? There's clearly so many

  • Other supers can instantly shut down a sunbreaker, just like the arc blade and radiance before it. Another weakness that comes to mind is mobility. The super is somewhat slow and running away is possible. In addition to that, I imagine blink would be at least a little useful in avoiding hammers

And against anyone without a super, they will win every time. -It has as much mobility as any multiple-use super except arc blade -It's possible to run away from every super (but with this one and GG you'll likely get hit as you're running away because of the range) -Blink can avoid any AOE super. And with this one, if they avoid one hammer they'll probably get killed by the next one... Or six...

  • Update, I ran a circle around a rock/tree c side of crossroads, came back around while he was trying to attack the zone itself and sworded him

  • You shouldn't need heavy ammo or running away or another super to shut down that kind of super. Arc blade, golden gun, storm trance, and radiance can all be shut down with a sniper or a shotgun/melee. When I said no weaknesses, I meant that it outclasses every other super in almost every other category. It does everything as well as or better than the other supers.

  • See that's where I think your wrong: "you shouldn't need overwhelming force to take down a super". What do you do when you're fighting a tank, fight it head on, or use something that will blow it up

  • Well even though supers shut down other supers you excluded that from its weaknesses (note: you said no weaknesses). For the mobility part, it's all about how you run, you certainly can't just run through the open plaza on bannerfall

  • Plus the new glitch that was similar to the golden gun where you can spam a number of hits. The vid was over 30 hammers. Thats absurd

  • Holy -blam!-ing shit. Just tried that animation frame cancel(what it actually is) and my hands hurt. Not doing it again. No aim ability w/out losing dps. No hope of hitting anything that even remotely moves unless its phogoth or mcdick face(8 hammers alone cuts his hp in half) Not even remotely useful, i even have to sacrifice cauterize for maximum hammer output. OP? [b]-blam!- YES![/b] Useful? [b]-blam!- NO![/b]

  • It's a ranged AOE super with high damage resistance.
