Thor's Hammer is a Thunder-elemental bow available for Anna in Epic Battle Fantasy 4 and 5.

Description

Thor's Hammer is a bow whose limbs are made primarily out of a material emitting a soft yellow glow. It is lined with small yellow orbs that may be made out of Topaz or Amber, judging by the items used in its forging. There are large orbs on the tips of the limbs (also holding the bowstring) and either end of the rope-braided grip, as well as three smaller orbs along each limb. Its arrows are made from the same glowing material as the limbs of the bow. Considering its element and the fact that the limbs don't actually connect to anything, it is possible that the limbs of Thor's Hammer are made of condensed light or electricity, made solid and harmless to touch by the orbs lining its body.

In EBF5, Thor's Hammer has slightly slimmer limbs and occasionally emits tiny lightning bolts when equipped.

In all of its appearances so far, Thor's Hammer has emphasized Magic Attack and Accuracy, but its Attack is rarely noteworthy. Its most consistent Equipment Effects include a Thunder resistance and a chance to inflict Stun with weapon-elemental skills.

Epic Battle Fantasy 4

Thor's Hammer has great Magic Attack and Accuracy, along with modest Attack. It has a small chance to Stun foes with its weapon-elemental attacks, but it's generally better to use Spark Arrow, which has a higher Stun chance and benefits from the bow's Thunder boost. It also enables Anna to counter attacks with Spark Arrow, which will not allow foes to be stunned (the status will wear off before the next turn), but adds some more damage. 

Thor's Hammer resists Thunder and Stun. When fully upgraded, it is completely immune to Stun.

Epic Battle Fantasy 5

Normal

Thor's Hammer offers solid boosts to Accuracy and Magic Attack, but its Attack is mediocre at best. It has a chance to unleash Thunderbolt with Anna's weapon-elemental skills and cast Thunder Storm between turns; both benefit from its elemental boost and run on its superior offensive stat. Additionally, it counters enemy attacks with Piercing Shot, which can also trigger its unleash.

This bow is most notable for the ludicrously high Stun chance on its weapon-elemental skills, which makes it an effective choice for a status build. By using Arrow Rain whenever possible, Anna is almost guaranteed to stun-lock everything with less than 70% Stun resistance; Spark Shower's Stun chance is even higher (if its focused version is used), but Thor's Hammer will ensure that Anna can consistently Stun all enemies at once. On the other hand, The Stinger offers significantly more offensive power in exchange for less reliable on-hit Stun.

Thor's Hammer resists Thunder, Wind, and Stun, becoming immune to the latter at Level 5.

Equip Remix

Alt Thor's Hammer is a balanced bow with average Attack and Magic Attack, as well as decent boosts to Accuracy and Evade. More notably, it improves Anna's buff skills and status infliction, and its weapon-elemental skills have a great chance to Stagger foes. It can summon either a Slime Mouse or a Lime Squid between turns, which can give a bit of minor Stun coverage.

While Alt Thor's Hammer isn't an especially outstanding offensive weapon, its special effects provide a good amount of support potential. Unfortunately, its niche is hotly contested by the Alt Regal Turtle, which has higher defensive stats (which tend to be more important for support than offensive power) and a boost to debuffs instead of buffs.

Alt Thor's Hammer resists Fire, Thunder, and Holy, but it won't be immune to any of them at Level 5.

Epic Battle Fantasy 4

Thor's Hammer is found in the chest that drops as a reward from Whitefall Town's ice block puzzle. Prior to the Battle Mountain update, it was found in one of the chests in the Waste Disposal Plant's boss area screen after defeating the Praetorian.

Trivia

• Thor's Hammer is an allusion to Mjölnir, the mystical hammer of Thor, the Norse God of thunder.
• Thor's Hammer has a similar design aesthetic to the Gigavolt and the Inferno, being a weapon made mostly of energy shaped or generated by small orbs.
