Champion’s Cudgel

General Falx Carius’ Imperial warhammer with Chaos Damage – strong and not leveled.

The Champion’s Cudgel is an Imperial warhammer from the Dragonborn add-on, taken from General Falx Carius – and one of the strongest early two-handers you can get, because nothing about it is leveled.

How to get it

General Falx Carius wields it. Defeat him during the Solstheim quest “March of the Dead” and take it.

Stats and enchantment

24 damage – the same as a glass warhammer – and Chaos Damage: a 50% chance each for fire, frost and shock to deal 25 points of damage, independently or all at once.

Unlike most unique weapons, it can be disenchanted to learn Chaos Damage – though you can also learn it from common Nordic or Stalhrim weapons that carry it.

Smithing

The Champion’s Cudgel cannot be upgraded.

Looks

A blocky head with Imperial symbols and a small crown of spikes, a crimson-wrapped grip and a faint blue magical glow. It’s also the only real non-sword choice for a fully armored Imperial soldier build.
