Hammer of Atlas

Hammer of Atlas is a Signature Earth Arcana in Wizard of Legend

Description
Move forwards while swinging a large stone hammer around you, dealing up to 5 hits of 12 damage and destroying all projectiles. The hammer is then thrown in the direction that you are aiming in, dragging foes with it and dealing up to 2 hits of 5 damage before the hammer explodes dealing 25 damage.

If enhanced, the hammer is much larger and 6 hits are dealt when the hammer is swung around you.

Charged Signature: The hammer is swung around you much faster allowing for more hits to be dealt and it deals more damage on every hit and when it explodes.

Strategies
The cooldown starts whenever you throw the hammer.

This arcana shines in its defensive prowess. While spinning, the hammer will destroy projectiles it collides with. Thus, it can be used well in a room with both melee and ranged foes as the hammer will keep melee foes at bay while destroying projectiles simultaneously. The hammer throw should be targeted at groups of clustered foes or foes near ledges to knock them into pits.

The long duration of this arcana exposes you to attacks from other foes, particularly those with jump or area attacks since they will not be hit by the spinning hammer. This also makes it poor for combos during boss stun phases as you may not have time left combo other arcana.

If taken as a Signature, pair it with arcana that can deal damage quickly during boss stun phases.
