Strife

Strife is the command used in Homestuck to have John initiate in combat against other things. During Strife the opponents face each other and the player can choose a command to initiate an attack.

Using his Strife Specibus, John chose "HammerKind" and now can only use Hammers in Strife. His ability with them is rather poor, as he initially needs a running start to even muster up enough power to Aggrieve at Dad. What's even worse is that Dad effortlessly Auto-Pastries the attack.
