Axe

With a balance between moderate swing speed and knockback, axes provide sustained damage focusing on strong individual blows. Some axes are heavy, slower and deal more damage. All axes also have a Secondary Ability like Chop or Double chop.

While they can technically be used to break down objects such as trees, it's not very ideal compared to using the Harvesting Tool, especially as they do less damage with each hit and cause one's melee weapon's condition to deteriorate.

Schematics
Schematics for axes typically require the following resources: Planks, Stringy Twine, Duct Tape, and Copper Ore. Higher quality axes may also call for Rotating Gizmo, Batteries, and Active Powercell.

Event Axes
Axes earned from events can be obtained through quests, loot llamas, item shops or the collection book.
