Axearang

Ranged lumbering through returning boomerang throws

The Axearang is a throwing axe introduced in 1.4.5 that merges boomerang mechanics with lumbering utility. Obtained by tossing an Axe of Regrowth into Shimmer, it can be transmuted back by submerging it in Shimmer again. When thrown, it flies forward dealing 20 base melee damage and 5 knockback before returning to the thrower. With 150% axe power, the returning projectile fells tree trunks, cactus stems, and giant mushrooms on contact.

Shimmer transmutation and tactical woodcutting utility

Because the Axearang penetrates obstacles along its flight trajectory, a single throw can topple multiple trees standing in a row or harvest tall jungle mahogany from ground level. This ranged capability allows lumberjacks to clear timber from safe distances across chasms or lava pools. Like other boomerang weapons, its flight speed does not scale with melee attack speed boosts or the Light prefix; players should reforge it with Godly or Demonic to optimize damage and critical chance.

Trivia

• The Axearang pierces obstacles and topples trees encountered during its boomerang flight.
• Submerging the Axearang in Shimmer converts it back into the Axe of Regrowth.
