Wall demolition and structural slope shaping
Assembled at an Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil from 8 Platinum Bar ingots and 3 Wood, the Platinum Hammer delivers 59% hammer power. It swings at an Average cadence of 27 use time, delivering 10 base melee damage with 5.5 knockback. Builders utilize it to clear background walls, convert solid blocks into slopes or half-blocks, and smash corrupt or crimson altars in early Hardmode.
Defensive melee swinging and orb smashing utility
Beyond shaping terrain, this hammer can shatter Shadow Orbs in the Corruption or Crimson Hearts in the Crimson to trigger meteor falls and boss encounters. Furthermore, its 10 melee damage and decent knockback allow it to function as a dependable self-defense swing against roaming slimes and zombies when caught building without an active weapon equipped, keeping pesky cave bats at bay.
