Economical timber felling with high defensive knockback
The Cobalt Waraxe combines woodcutting utility with solid melee defense, crafted from 10 Cobalt Bar items at an Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil. Delivering 33 base melee damage and 5 knockback across a wide swing, it clears hostile monsters while chopping timber. Its 70% axe power cuts down surface trees, rich mahogany, and pearlwood saplings in reliable strokes.
Early hardmode wood gathering and swing timing
Compared to the channeled Cobalt Chainsaw, the waraxe provides protective arc coverage against approaching enemies, preventing cave creatures from interrupting logging work. The waraxe also scales with melee speed boosts from gear and potions. Rolling the Light modifier maximizes tree-felling speed, while Legendary provides balanced combat defense. Requiring only 10 bars, it costs two fewer bars than the Palladium Waraxe, saving early Hardmode metal.
Trivia
- The waraxe sweeps in a wide arc that can strike multiple enemies simultaneously.
- It requires 10 Cobalt Bars to craft at an Iron or Lead Anvil.
