Drax

The Drax is an alternative to the Pickaxe Axe. Appearances and sounds aside, the two tools are functionally identical. However, unlike pickaxes, most drills cannot be reforged with size, speed, or knockback modifiers, making Demonic the best possible prefix. Drax is the one exception, as it can be reforged with knockback, allowing the Godly prefix.

Can mine any block except Lihzahrd Bricks.

Tips

 * Due to its rapid attack speed, high damage and knockback, it can serve as a melee weapon for low-end close-range targets.

Trivia

 * "Drax" is a portmanteau of words, drill and axe, because it can perform the actions of both.
 * This, prior to version 1.2, along with the Hallowed Repeater, was the only item forged from boss souls that is of red rarity, despite, arguably, that it used to be the most difficult craftable item to obtain in Terraria.
 * Getting this tool in the 1.1 version could have been considered a top accomplishment, as the player had to kill Skeletron Prime, The Twins and The Destroyer each at least once to obtain the once required souls.
 * The Drax is the only drill with knockback.
 * Drax is the villain from the James Bond movie Moonraker
 * Pre 1.2, this item was called the Hamdrax, but then its use as a hammer was removed, therefore the name was simply changed to Drax.
 * The original tooltip for the Drax was: “Not to be confused with a hamsaw.”
