Hammer Spin
A spinning charge attack that grants super armour for its duration and builds Stun stacks toward the six that trigger a stun. On the count: a creator states three flatly, while the Titan Hammer Strike tooltip is more specific — spin hits apply 1 stack each and only the final hit applies 2, so what a cast actually banks depends on how much of the spin connects.

When to use it
The centre of the hammer stun-lock build. Super armour means you keep spinning through incoming hits, and a connecting spin front-loads a large share of the stun threshold — so the loop is spin, land the follow-ups, stun, repeat. Enhanced further by the Endless Whirlwind talent.
