War Axe of the Night

The War Axe of the Night is in the fifth tier of Axes, being better than the Gold Axe but worse than the Meteor Hamaxe. Like all axes, it is used to cut down Trees and to remove placed Wood blocks.

It requires 10 Demonite Bars, but unlike the lower tier axes, it requires no wood at all.

As the name implies, the War Axe is designed for combat. It does a whopping 20 damage per hit, making it more powerful than the Light's Bane. However, this power comes at a cost: while swinging it, you are unable to turn around unless the player is grappled onto the side of a wall with a grappling hook. It also is not the best choice for chopping wood. Hamaxes are a much better choice for the job, but the obvious downside being that Hamaxes are more difficult to get; either requiring the player to go to Hell to get one, or have a Meteor fall on the world.



Since this weapon has axe qualities, you can hold left mouse to continuously swing as opposed to a sword which requires one click per swing with the exception of the Muramasa and Staff of Regrowth.

Many players choose this as a Demonite-tier weapon over the Light's Bane, as it has higher damage, has a longer reach, and can be held down, eliminating the need to click multiple times when fighting. Crafting the War Axe of the Night also eliminates the need for a new axe.
