A heavy hammer that charges explosive strikes while moving. It rewards patience, boss pattern knowledge, and rooms where you can force enemies into readable openings.
Whisper & Vesper
Fast twin daggers for aggressive close-range play. They shine when you can stay near the target, strike repeatedly, and escape with Hollowing before retaliation.

Hollower's Shield
A defensive weapon for bash, block, and parry play. It has a higher execution ask, but it can turn boss knowledge into strong counterattack windows.
