War Hammer

Ancient

Whenever you kill an Elite, Upgrade 4 random cards.

After a combat victory the relic checks the room type; if it is an Elite room, 4 random cards from your deck that can still be upgraded get upgraded. Boss and normal fights never trigger it. The targets are shuffled from the whole deck, so Strikes and Defends are as likely as your best cards.

When to take War Hammer

Take it from Tanx in Glory only if several Elites remain, since each grants 4 free upgrades. Two or three ahead means 8 to 12 upgrades, but only one is a weak pick.
