The War Hammer Gideon「戦鎚ギデオン Sentsui Gideon」 is Diane's Sacred Treasure, and after her having lost it, was one of the two rewards for winning the Vaizel Fight Festival.

After returning to her normal size, the giant, angered by the proceedings, especially Helbram's wounding Meliodas, proceeded to retaliate in full force, showing the immense power of Diane brought out by Gideon which forced Helbram, and his subordinates, to retreat. It caused the total destruction of Vaizel in the aftermath.
