Understand Crushing Ruin
Useful when…
- Equip as the stance for a hammer when its listed aerial and crowd-control focus suits your melee use.
What the stance offers
Crushing Ruin is a standard hammer stance. Its description identifies aerial attacks and crowd-control combos, but does not provide combo names, damage multipliers, status effects, or attack timing. Those details should not be inferred from the description alone.
Fitting and rank investment
It fits hammers in a stance slot, has Madurai polarity, and lists base drain -2. It can be fused to rank 3. The listed rank-up costs rise from 30 Endo and 1,449 Credits for rank 0 to 1 to 120 Endo and 5,796 Credits for rank 2 to 3.
Other hammer stances
Shattering Storm is another standard hammer stance, described as methodical strikes and high-impact combos, with Vazarin polarity. Crashing Havoc is identified as a Conclave stance, so its variant is distinct from Crushing Ruin's standard stance. These descriptions support comparing stance style and variant, but do not establish that either has superior performance.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The supplied description gives a broad style, not specific combo execution or numerical benefits.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming the short style description specifies exact combo inputs or attack multipliers.
- Confusing the standard stance with the Conclave stance variant.
