Ban Hammer is a melee Phighter, a slow but powerful bruiser with great burst mobility and unique abilities that allow him to dip in and out of the fray as he so pleases. His passive, Oathbound, grants him shield on eliminations, whilst also reducing taken knockback from all sources. Heavy Swing is a large, wide swing that can deny a massive area just by being held. Order, his secondary, grants him even more shield and can slow enemies, as well as supplementing the tyrant's damage output. Pursuit is perfect for repositioning on top of or away from enemies, and combined with Whirlwind, Ban Hammer can whittle down crowds of enemies with little resistance. His Phinisher, Judgement, is a risky-yet-rewarding execute, perfect for securing eliminations on tanky targets or denying a revival from MedkitPhinisher.
