Axe and Shield is the anvil: Battle Cry grants Rally (12 s more damage), Giant's Bellow (8 s less damage taken, more Physical Amplification) and Pulse. The Warhammer strikes with Meteor Hammer, Galactic Impact and Planar Fracture. Back to the axe (Q) only after Resonating Strike – swapping ends Meteor Hammer.
