Chlorophyte Greataxe

Heavy timber logging and defensive sweep

The Chlorophyte Greataxe delivers 115% axe power paired with high combat potential, dealing 70 base melee damage and 7 knockback. Its wide overhead swinging motion cuts through trees in few strikes while repelling aggressive underground wildlife. The broad arc protects the player against swarming hornets and tortoises while harvesting rich mahogany groves, functioning effectively as both a logging tool and a reliable sidearm.

Melee acceleration and chainsaw differentiation

Forging this heavy axe requires 18 Chlorophyte Bar ingots at a Mythril Anvil or Orichalcum Anvil. Unlike its motorized counterpart, the Chlorophyte Chainsaw, the greataxe benefits from melee speed bonuses from armor, accessories, and potions. Reforging it with the Light prefix increases its swing rate substantially, enabling faster clearing of timber across surface forests and underground mushroom biomes.

Trivia

• With 70 base damage, it hits harder than many early Hardmode broadswords.
• Swinging in an overhead arc allows it to harvest trees while protecting against airborne pests.
