Velara, ever wondered if a perfectly balanced hammer could outmatch a perfectly balanced sword in a duel?
Velara Velara
A hammer's pure mass is a blunt weapon, a sword's balance is a scalpel—both win if you outmaneuver the other. If the hammer stays flat, it will crush, but the sword can cut through the impact. So it depends on how you use it, not on perfect balance.

Sure, but even a perfect swing needs the hammer’s mass to be where the energy hits, and a sword’s balance is what lets you redirect that energy—so balance still matters, just not in the way you think.

Yeah, but the hammer’s mass has to land on the target before the sword can reroute it. Balance is still the line between a clean hit and a missed swing.

If the hammer’s mass hits before you even think about balance, you’re already losing the point—so it’s the timing of the impact, not the hammer’s weight distribution, that decides the outcome.
