War Axe of the Night

The War Axe of the Night is an axe crafted from Demonite. It is stronger than the Gold Axe and the Platinum Axe, but weaker than the Meteor Hamaxe. It has a Crimson counterpart, the Blood Lust Cluster, which is stronger but also slightly slower. Like all axes, it is used to cut down trees, cacti and giant glowing mushrooms.

In addition to its use as an axe, it is also a good melee weapon. Compared to the Light's Bane, it is slower, but does more damage. It also swings repeatedly when the attack button is held down, but this comes with a downside: the player cannot turn around whilst swinging it. If utilised well, this downside can actually be used an advantage in melee combat, and is useful for gardening with its constant swing. The slowness of the axe can be countered with the 21% melee speed bonus that the Shadow armor provides.
