Guitar chords and record axe power
The Axe is a musical tool shaped like an electric guitar that holds the highest axe rating in the entire game at 175% axe power, alongside 100% hammer power. Every swing plays distorted electric guitar chords that shift in pitch based on cursor position and distance from the player. It delivers 72 base melee damage and 7.25 knockback, functioning as a capable melee weapon while clear-cutting trees in quick strikes.
Plantera drop rates and hybrid versatility
The instrument drops as a rare reward from Plantera in the Underground Jungle, appearing at a 2% rate in Classic mode and a 5% rate within Expert and Master treasure bags. The tool features a +1 tile range bonus and an auto-swinging cadence, letting players harvest wood and reshape terrain smoothly without swapping gear. Its rock sound effects and high axe power make it a distinctive vanity tool in Hardmode.
Trivia
