Lore

While repairing the priest's tower, the stonemasons found themselves short on both workers and materials. The Prayer of the Moon then enlisted the help of several mercenaries, and word spread quickly. Soon, nearly all the mercenaries had gathered at the base of the tower. What was originally a four-month project was completed in less than half a month.

Player-tested route: Light Attack -> uncharged Warhammer Sling

Unlocking Lv.1 charge also swaps in the faster uncharged release, even when Warhammer Sling is released without charging. Player testing reports that the earlier projectile makes Light Attack into uncharged Warhammer Sling connect as a true combo. The in-game talent description only mentions the charged attack's range and damage multiplier.
