Shroomite Digging Claw

The Shroomite Digging Claw is a Hardmode, post-Plantera Pickaxe and Axe combination. It is capable of mining every Block except Lihzahrd Bricks. It is the fastest Pickaxe by mining speed and deals very high damage, though it has a range one tile less than most Pickaxes.

Tips

 * Due to the Claw's reduced range, one might bring a second Pickaxe with higher range, as to have an alternative to the Claw. A Luminite Pickaxe may pair well, as its mining range is even higher than average. There is no increased or reduced range in the Mobile Version, so the Claw can replace other pickaxes except for the Picksaw (or other pickaxes with 210% Mining Power or above).


 * Although it is a tool, it is a relatively good melee weapon due to its very fast speed and high damage. The only downsides are its range and Knockback.
 * If combined with the Mining armor's 30% set mining bonus, and 25% mining potion buff, you can dig as fast as you fall. However, if you dig into anything that requires two or more hits to break, such as Hardmode ores, you will hit the ground and take fall damage. This can be prevented with items that negate fall damage, such as the Lucky Horseshoe, or by equipping Wings.
 * It has a low sell price compared to other tools of the same tier, making it relatively cheap to get a Light or Legendary modifier by reforging.
