History
"If it takes more than one hit, you're not doing it right."

-...

During the period where Cantha was colonized under the rule of the Katsuragi, (insert) Overseers would order large ore slabs broken down into manageable chunks, and this job fell to the Sledgers. Wolf Clan slaves undertook the job with gusto, as it appealed to their natural instincts - hitting something repeatedly until it fell apart. The tool of choice was an oversized enchanted hammer, and under (insert) direction, this simple job became the training ground for a secret fighting style based around single, shattering strikes. Leading to their nickname "Sledgers".

And when the Cantha uprising finally started many overseers were surprised when these hammer-wielding men charged in and shatter apart their heavy soldiers, their shields and armor crumpling like paper to the Sledger's hammers, and those who try to charge at them were thrown off their feet a Sledger strikes a single blow to the earth. The Stun Slam, as it was called, was apparently invented by a notoriously inaccurate Sledger, whose missed attacks would sometimes throw bystanders off their feet.

And by modern times these soldiers bear the same name as their ancestors, even wielding sledgehammers in the age of guns, with the only modernization being more advanced armor, allowing them to wade through machine gun fire, and their hammerhead hollowed and filled with lead for heavier hitting power, and making it impossible for anyone but a Sledger or beings of equal strength to lift it.

Sledgers often complain that no one understands the intellectual side of their discipline - their keen eye for structural weaknesses, and the mental focus necessary for maximum breaking power.
