Shroomite Digging Claw

The Shroomite Digging Claw is a Hardmode, post-Plantera pickaxe and axe. It is capable of mining every type of block except Lihzahrd Bricks. It is the fastest pickaxe by mining speed and deals very high damage, but it has a one-tile penalty to range.

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 may pair well, as its mining range is even higher than average.
 * The post-Moon Lord is another viable alternative. Although it is slower when digging downwards and its speed cannot be buffed, it has infinite flight time and a greatly increased mining range.
 * Although it is a tool, it is a relatively viable melee weapon due to its very fast speed and high damage. The only shortcomings are its low range and knockback.
 * If combined with the Mining armor's 30% set mining bonus, and the 25% buff of the Mining Potion, the player can dig as fast as they fall. However, digging into anything that requires two or more hits to break, such as Hardmode ores, will cause the player to hit the ground and take fall damage. This can be prevented with items that negate fall damage, such as the Lucky Horseshoe or its upgrades or 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.
