Holy Great Hammer is a well-rounded two-handed weapon. Unlike Kruber/Bardin Great Hammer, Holy Great Hammer has not just amazing horde control, but also horde clear speed. Its single target combo also comes out quicker and with very little movement slow effect during the combo. It also inherited other characteristics of regular Great Hammer, has amazing damage against armoured enemies, especially Super Armour. Though it still suffers a bit from two-handed weapon dodge capability. And its move set is not as straightforward as a regular Great hammer, requires a bit of combo practice to be used effectively.

Pros: Good cleave. Good crowd control. Good single target armour damage.
Cons: Low dodge(though same as other two-handed weapon). Monster DPS is fairly low.

Recommended Weapon Combo:
Special attack:
Great Hammer special attack(default key: Mouse 5) is a quick single target attack, sharing the damage profile with its push attack. Use it to reset your attack combo back to the first light attack or first heavy attack.

Against horde:
When fighting horde, use combo heavy attack - heavy attack - light attack.

Against elite:
When fighting elites, use combo light attack - light attack - heavy attack.

Against monster:
When fighting monster, use combo light attack - light attack - heavy attack.

While charging Heavy Attacks or holding left click after full charge, Heavy Attacks can block incoming attacks like normal block.

Flail and Shield is closer to the regular Flail than regular shields. All its attacks beside the shield bash have the same damage profile as its regular Flail counterpart. And similar to Bretonian Longsword, while charging or holding left click after full charge Heavy Attacks, you can block incoming attacks and release your Heavy Attack at any time. It even has higher single target DPS than Flail thanks to Light Attack 1 and 2 being the overhead attack. The only downside compared to Flail is the loss of 1 dodge count, which is very minimal considering they still have the same dodge distance. On the other hand, the similarity between Flail and Shield and regular shields are less presented. While still having shield strong block and shield strong push, it doesn't have quick access to shield bash attack, only has a weaker version inside its light attack chain. It also has one less stamina shield compared to regular shields, down from 5 to 4, and lack the shorter stamina regen delay after push like other shields. As a result, Flail and Shield perform better with THP on Cleave talent rather than on Stagger if you favour its regular attacks and should be used to utilize the Flail part more. Overall, a good crowd control weapon with decent damage and strong defence.

Pros: High dodge among shields. Good single target damage. High crowd control. Good horde clear. Damage through shields.
Cons: Monster DPS and DPS cap are fairly low. Don't have access to shield bash quickly.

Recommended Weapon Combo:
Against horde:
When fighting horde, use chain heavy attack.

When fighting horde and need quick crowd control, use combo push attack-light attack.

Against elite:
When fighting single Mauler, use combo light attack - light attack - block cancel.

When fighting single Monk/Savage, use combo 5 light attacks - block cancel.

When fighting single armoured elite, use combo light attack - heavy attack.

Alternatively, use combo light attack - qq cancel for best DPS on all types of the single elite.

When fighting multiple elites, use chain heavy attacks.

Against monster:
When fighting unarmoured monster, use combo light attack - light attack - block cancel.

When fighting armoured monster, use combo light attack - heavy attack.

Alternatively, use combo light attack - qq cancel for best DPS on all types of monster.

Additional notes:

Charging Mechanic
• Both Heavy Attacks have two levels of charge. You can charge these attacks by either holding mouse left button for a short period of time like normal weapons, or pressing special attack(default key: Mouse 5).
  
• While pressing special attack(default key: Mouse 5), you are slowed down by 10%.
  
• Heavy Attack/Special Attack charge speed can be increased by Attack Speed.
  
• After the Heavy Attacks are charged to 2nd level, the pattern on the book will be fully lighted.
  
• Unlike other weapons, you don't need to fully charge the Heavy Attacks to 2nd level charge in one go.
  
• Switching weapon/item does not lose charging progress. Two different Skull-Splitter & Blessed Tome have separate charging progress.

Heavy Attacks Properties
• Both 1st level Heavy Attacks are single target attack.
  
• After fully charged, the heavy attack 1 will get a bit more damage and a lot more stagger, also perform a lunge. During the lunge, you do not have dodge state and apply a very weak stagger(light push level) to the enemies near you. Right click during lunge can cancel it.
  
• After fully charged, the heavy attack 2 will get a lot more stagger, and release an AoE explosion near the main target. The explosion also applies to the main target, does not provide THP or career skill charge, does not apply DoT.

Skull-Splitter & Blessed Tome is an interesting weapon with a lot of unique mechanics related to its two Heavy Attacks.
The fully charged Heavy Attack 1(heavy stab) is mostly served as a move tech and gap closing tool. It applies a weak stagger(light push level) to enemies on your charging path and does not provide dodge state during lunging. So it's not recommended to be used during horde fight/high threat combat situation or even trying to catch up hookrat/assassin/gunrat/firerat that are targeting you, as they will most likely disable you or knock you back or deal high damage to you during the lunge. Though, you can right-click to cancel the lunge. The stagger and damage of the direct hit does increase when fully charged, able to stagger elites running attack and Storm Vermin overhead without investment, but it is not worth the charging time for DPS purposes.
The fully charged Heavy Attack 2(heavy slam) is the most useful offensive tool for Skull-Splitter & Blessed Tome in most situations. It's similar to Sienna Flaming Flail heavy slam attack, apply stagger and deal damage to a group of enemies while one enemy will take higher damage/stagger. Compare to Flaming Flail, the Skull-Splitter & Blessed Tome AoE does way more damage, enough to kill horde trash inside the AoE in 2-3 hits. In order to get a fully charged heavy slam, you need to light attack/push attack once, and then full charge your heavy, which is fairly slow in a real combat scenario and can leave the player vulnerable.
In order to release a fully charged heavy attack, you can charge it by holding left click or special attack. During combat(mostly Heavy Attack 2), holding left click is better as it takes less time in total since you already have gone through part of the charge animation already. So in order to release a fully charged Heavy Attack 2, should use push attack/light attack - 2nd level heavy attack as the combo. During pacing, preemptively charging your heavy with the special attack is better, as it slows you down less and allows you to get a fully charged heavy version quicker on the next enemy. Also, use special attack - 2nd level heavy attack allows you to move around in a more efficient way.
Overall, Skull-Splitter & Blessed Tome is a utility weapon that has a lot of unique mechanics with ok damage output ability. The biggest issue is the long charge time required for its useful attacks and since most of its attacks are single target/explosion, its temporary health generation is fairly poor. Should be paired with another all-rounded weapon that helps you to perform better in tight situations and farm health.

Pros: High dodge. Unique moveset. Good move tech.
Cons: Heavy Attacks require a long charge time to be effective and leave players vulnerable. Low temporary health generation.

Recommended Weapon Combo:
Special attack:
Skull-Splitter & Blessed Tome special attack(default key: Mouse 5) is used to charge its Heavy Attacks. After fully charging the Heavy Attacks, the pattern on the book will be fully lighted. Then you can choose when to perform your fully-charged Heavy Attack.

Against horde:
When fighting horde, use combo push attack attack - 2nd level heavy attack.

Against elite:
When fighting single unarmoured elite, use chain light attack.

When fighting single normal armoured elite, use combo light attack - 2nd level heavy attack.

When fighting single super armoured elite, use chain first-level heavy attacks.

When fighting multiple elites, use combo light attack - 2nd level heavy attack.

Against monster:
When fighting unarmoured monster, use chain light attack.

When fighting armoured monster, use chain first-level heavy attacks.

Light Attack 3 has 10% extra crit chance.
Mass modifier:

Additional notes:
This weapon is an exact copy of Kruber Mace/Bardin Hammer.

A one-handed weapon, focus on defence, mobility and crowd control. Its light sweep attacks have great stagger power, can interrupt Storm Vermin/Mauler/Bestigor overhead by default, and generate a huge amount of THP against horde. Its high stamina count plus good move speed while blocking allow you to push attack shove through density or block while retreating easily. With level 10 talent Unstoppable Force, its horde clear combo push attack - light attack - light attack can also be performed infinitely as long as there are 3 units for you to hit through. The only downside is that this weapon's overall damage potential is not as good as other options.

Pros: High mobility and defence. Good dodge. Good crowd control. Ok single target armour damage.
Cons: Horde DPS, Monster DPS and DPS cap are fairly low.

Recommended Weapon Combo:
Against horde:
When fighting horde, use combo light attack - light attack - block cancel. Mixing some push/push attacks can increase crowd control.

Against elite:
When fighting unarmoured elites, use heavy attack, then chain heavy attack - light attack.

When fighting armoured elites, use chain heavy attacks.

Against monster:
When fighting unarmoured monster, use heavy attack, then chain heavy attack - light attack.

When fighting armoured monster, use chain heavy attacks.

Additional notes:
This weapon is an exact copy of Bardin Dual Hammers.

An all-rounded dual wield weapon with no obvious downside. It has amazing horde clear speed and crowd control ability, farming THP extremely fast. Paired Skull-Splitters also have access to good and fast single target attacks, high stamina/good dodge and easy move tech. The only downside that barely counts is its killing speed against mass elites, but even then you can utilize your high moveability and high stamina count to turn the fight into your favour.

Pros: High mobility and defence. Good dodge. High crowd control and horde DPS. Good single target damage.
Cons: Single target DPS cap is fairly low.

Recommended Weapon Combo:
Against horde:
When fighting low density horde, use chain light attacks.

When fighting high density horde, use combo light attack - heavy attack - heavy attack.

Against elite:
When fighting elites, use combo push attack - light attack - heavy attack.

Alternatively, use combo heavy attack - qq cancel for best DPS on all types of elites.

Against monster:
When fighting normal monster, use combo heavy attack - block cancel.

When fighting super armour monster, use combo push attack - light attack - heavy attack.

Alternatively, use combo heavy attack - qq cancel for best DPS on all types of monsters.

Additional notes:
This weapon is an exact copy of Kruber Mace and Shield/Bardin Hammer and Shield.

A standard shield with a simple single target combo. The easy access to shield bash attack allows Hammer and Shield to crowd control efficiently. And due to the high stagger and infinite cleave of bash attack, Skull-Splitter & Shield synergize greatly with THP on Stagger, providing the most efficient THP farming method in the whole game. But just like other standard shields, its DPS, in general, is not amazing against all types of units, and has below average dodge ability. Though compare to some other shields, Hammer and Shield still have some mobility and short-term single target burst thanks to the push attack - light attack combo.

Pros: Ok mobility among shields. Good crowd control. Ok short term single target DPS.
Cons: Horde DPS and long term single target DPS are fairly low.

Recommended Weapon Combo:
Chain bash:
Chain bash can stagger all types of unit (except monster). A great way to stabilize your position/stagger multiple elites. It can also farm temporary HP with stagger very efficiently.
Use the combo push - heavy attack to chain bash.

Against horde:
When fighting horde, use light attack, then chain light attack - heavy attack. Mixing some push/shield bash can increase crowd control.

Against elite:
When fighting eltes, use combo push attack - light attack.

Against monster:
When fighting monster, use combo push attack - light attack.
