Best Enshrouded Two-handed Hammers
Crushing damage + AoE shockwave on heavy attacks. Pairs naturally with the Berserker Barbarian build.
Why pick two-handed hammers in Enshrouded?
Two-handed hammers in Enshrouded are the heavy-AOE Warrior pick — crushing base damage, shockwave proc on heavy attacks, and the best stagger-against-multi-target modifier in slot. They scale with STR (Strength) and pair naturally with the Berserker Barbarian preset. The hammer's wedge is the AOE shockwave: jump-attack into a clustered add wave and the heavy attack hits everyone simultaneously, which makes Hollow Halls add-clear faster than greatswords. As a slot priority 2H hammers are A-tier — strong second pick after greatswords for Warrior builds, and the canonical Barbarian weapon. Legendary 2H hammers carry perks that compound the stagger advantage. Pair with shield secondary if you want a defensive swap, or with bow secondary for ranged poke between hammer swings.
