Axes

Axes are basic tools that can be used to used to destroy Trees and Cacti. They can also be used as weapons. New players spawn with a Copper Axe.

A tree has 500% hit points and a cactus 170% hit points. Their chopping speed is altered only by speed modifiers and nothing else.

The best prefix for any Axe is Legendary.

Tips

 * Axes can be reforged to increase speed of cutting down trees, which Chainsaws cannot.
 * The best prefix is Light for pre-hardmode axes and Legendary for hardmode axes. Exceptions to this rule are Meteor Hamaxe which has the same speed with Legendary modifier as Light modifier, and Shroomite Digging Claw which will cut down faster when reforged to Light.
 * The Sawtooth Shark is the only pre-hardmode chainsaw, and it takes 1.06s to cut down a tree, making it better than Meteor Hamaxe but worse than Molten Hamaxe.
