The Axe

"The Axe" is a tool classified as a Hamaxe, meaning it retains the Abilities of an Axe and a Hammer. Its appearance closely resembles that of a "V Guitar". Referencing its appearance, it will make an electric guitar sound when the player swings it. Because the high base damage, formidable Knockback and ability to Autoswing, it is often regarded as a weapon and not a tool. This item is rarely dropped by the Jungle hardmode Boss Plantera.

Tips

 * While Autoswinging, the player will be unable to change direction. This can be alleviated by briefly releasing the attack button to allow the next swing to readjust the weapons direction.

Trivia

 * With 175% Axe power and 100% hammer power, it is both the most powerful axe, and hammer in the game.
 * This item is most likely a reference to the metal band Pantera's lead guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell, who used to use a red Flying V guitar.
