The Breaker

The Breaker is a Demonite-tier Hammer that deals 23 damage with a very slow speed and a hammer power of 55%. It is equivalent in hammer power (though it does far more damage) to the Gold Hammer and is one tier lower than the Meteor Hamaxe.

One advantage of the Breaker over most other melee weapons is that it swings repeatedly when the attack button is held down. However, while swinging the Breaker in this fashion, the player cannot turn around, a potential disadvantage when mobbed from both sides. A decent hit box that extends slightly behind the player compensates somewhat for this, and when used properly the Breaker's ability to keep swinging without turning around can allow the player to give ground against mobs without discontinuing their melee attacks. The fact that player can't turn around can also make the day of others happier because of the word: Moonwalk.

If The Breaker is used as a weapon, items that boost the player's attack speed are suggested, such as Shadow Armor or Feral Claws.
