The '''Persona Zeushammer''' is a [[Weapons#Melee Weapons|melee weapon]] added by the [[Royalty DLC]] that emits an [[EMP]] upon hitting a target. It is the [[persona weapon]] variant of the [[zeushammer]].

== Acquisition ==
Persona zeushammers cannot be crafted. Instead, they can be [[Trade|purchased]] from any combat supplier or war merchant, at [[Empire]] [[faction base]]s, or obtained as a [[quest]] reward.

They can also be found on the following [[Raider#Humanlike|raider]] kinds:

== Summary ==
{{Stub|section=1}}

=== Persona mechanics ===
{{Main|Persona weapon}}
The persona zeushammer is the persona weapon variant of the zeushammer. Persona weapons form a psychic bond with the first wielder that equips them. This grants or inflicts certain traits with a variety of effects listed below. This bond is also usually both exclusive of other persona weapons and permanent, lasting until either the wielder dies, at which point another pawn may bond with the weapon, or until the weapon is destroyed, at which point the wielder may bond with another persona weapon. The exception is weapons with the Freewielder trait, which form no permanent bond and do not prevent the use of other persona weapons. Additionally, the bond is broken at the moment of death rather than the state of being dead. The bond remains broken if the wielder is [[Resurrector mech serum|resurrected]], though they can relink with the weapon if no-one else has. 

When bonded, persona weapons have no value, both for [[trade]] and for the purposes of [[raid points]]. 

Persona weapons also improve the combat capabilities of the weapons compared to the baseline versions. 

Finally, each persona weapon is given a randomly generated custom name.

=== Other ===
Upon striking a target with the head, a persona zeushammer will deal 9 [[EMP]] damage in addition to the regular [[Damage Types#Blunt|Blunt]] damage.{{Check Tag|Quality?|Does this EMP damage (and thus stun duration) scale with quality like normal damage}}

== Analysis ==
Compared to their base variants, persona zeushammers boast a significantly higher [[Damage per second|DPS]], and can only be used by a single pawn unless they have the Freewielder trait. 

As a zeushammer deals blunt damage, it can be better than the monosword against armor - most enemies have much better Sharp % rating than Blunt. However, even a regular monosword has enough {{AP}} to completely ignore a [[centipede]]'s armor, with the [[persona monosword]] completely bypassing [[recon armor]] and poor [[marine armor]]. The persona monosword remains competitive when fighting against marine armor, only starting to fall off against cataphract.

When a zeushammer hits, its [[EMP]] will stun [[mechanoids]], [[turrets]], and [[mortar]]s for 4.5s, regardless of [[quality]]. After being stunned, mechanoids become 'Adapted' and gain immunity against further stuns for 2,200 ticks (36.67 secs), regardless of stun length. Due to this fact, using zeushammer actually becomes counterproductive when fighting mechs with [[EMP grenades]] or another source of EMP. All other sources of EMP stun for much longer, and the first stun causes adaptation immediately. The zeushammer retains its niche against turrets, as well as certain other uses of EMP (like breaking [[shield belt]]s).
