Strategy
Stormhammer is an incredibly efficient weapon. It can be compared to Eaglehorn Bow, which likewise has "infinite" durability as long as you can keep its condition fulfilled. Unlike Eaglehorn Bow, Stormhammer's condition can be harder to keep up, since your opponent can keep your board clear of dragons more easily than they can remove your Secrets without buffing Eaglehorn.
If you can keep a dragon on board, Stormhammer provides 3 free damage every single turn, which can keep midrange threats at bay or put a massive amount of pressure on your opponent.
In the worst case, Stormhammer is a Fiery War Axe, which is still a reasonably powerful weapon.
Lore
Stormhammers are the iconic weapons of the Wildhammer clan gryphon riders.
- Most sacred to the dwarves is the enchanted forge that lies at the heart of each gryphon aviary. It is here that the magical weapons known as stormhammers are fashioned. A stormhammer, when thrown, strikes with the fury of lightning and the force of thunder. The weapon then comes back into the hand of its holder. This destructive weapon, combined with the indomitable spirit of the gryphon riders, justifies their position as masters of the skies.
