When Equipped, the Basic Hammer will widen the player's FOV. By pressing the attack button, the hammer is swung in a large radius in front of the player. Repeatedly pressing this allows for multiple quick attacks and to build up a damage combo. Holding down the attack button will charge up a Special attack, which can be customized into a Ground Pound, Drill or Whirlwind. The Default is Whirlwind.
When pressing the aim button, the player will dodge, enabling them to dash in the direction they are moving to avoid attacks.
Jumping and pressing the attack button will allow the player to leap forward and deal damage within a radius, while also not taking any fall damage.
