Entry hardmode logging and channeled cutting ticks
The Palladium Chainsaw represents an accessible motorized logging tool crafted right after defeating the Wall of Flesh. Players forge it from 12 Palladium Bar ingots at an Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil, requiring no Hardmode anvil. Featuring 75% axe power, it rapidly brings down forest timber and giant mushrooms through continuous channeled contact. It inflicts 26 base melee damage and 2.9 knockback on encroaching monsters.
Mechanical continuous contact compared to heavy axes
Unlike the sweeping Palladium Waraxe, this chainsaw focuses its cutting head forward in a sustained line. It chops trees quickly without needing manual clicks, though it lacks defensive arc width. Drills and chainsaws do not gain attack speed bonuses from gear or roll the Light prefix. Reforging it to Godly or Demonic optimizes its damage and critical strikes. Compared to the Cobalt Chainsaw, it costs two additional bars but yields higher axe power and damage.
Trivia
- Chainsaws maintain a fixed operation rate that cannot be increased with melee speed buffs.
- It can be crafted at a standard pre-Hardmode anvil using 12 Palladium Bars.
