Chieftain's Hammer

Chieftain's Hammer

An elaborate weapon adorned with prized horns, probably trophies from past hunts. At times, the Drak would make sacrifices to their gods in Ark Morgo to channel their elemental affinities. Therefore, this axe of a tribal chief was imbued with the power of lightning to aid in their pursuits.

The Chieftain's Hammer is a legendary two-handed hammer in Enshrouded. It deals blunt damage. At level 50, a legendary copy hits for 220 base damage. It attacks every 0.77 seconds, which comes to about 286 damage per second. It always has one gem slot for a gem. Its upgrades unlock critical strike damage, extra lightning damage and critical strike damage against Soaked enemies. It is found in the Veilwater Basin, where it drops from gold and silver sarcophagi in the Hollow Halls. The Blacksmith upgrades it.

Damage By Level

Base damage grows with item level and with rarity. Two-handed weapons deal one and a half times as much as one-handed ones. The table shows the base damage before perks and gems. Each perk adds its own bonus on top.

Level	Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic	Legendary
1	15	16	19	24	26
10	35	39	44	56	62
20	58	64	72	92	102
30	80	88	100	128	141
40	103	113	128	164	181
50	125	138	157	200	220

Enhancements by Level

Each upgrade at the Blacksmith raises a copy by one level and unlocks the next enhancement. The levels count from the copy's own level, so a level 9 copy unlocks them at levels 10 to 14. Rarity sets how many upgrades a copy takes: one for common, up to five for legendary.

Upgrade	Unlocks At	Enhancement	Effect
1	Level +1	Critical Strike Damage	+22% Critical Strike Damage
2	Level +2	Lightning Damage	Adds Lightning Damage equal to 10% of base damage
3	Level +3	Ruthless	+32% Ruthless
4	Level +4	Lightning Damage	Adds Lightning Damage equal to 10% of base damage
5	Level +5	Lightning Damage	Adds Lightning Damage equal to 10% of base damage
