Structural remodeling and corruption orb demolition
Constructed at an Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil with 8 Tungsten Bar ingots and 3 wood blocks, the Tungsten Hammer features 50% hammer power and useTime 28. It is primarily used for stripping away unsafe background walls, creating stairs through sloped tiles, and breaking Shadow Orbs or Crimson Hearts buried deep within evil chasms. It quickly strips hostile cavern walls to validate NPC housing requirements in subterranean outposts.
Power comparisons and architectural speed tuning
With 50% hammer power, it surpasses the Silver Hammer while falling slightly short of the Gold Hammer. It cannot break Demon Altars, as doing so requires a Pwnhammer obtained after defeating the Wall of Flesh. Securing a Light modifier increases swing tempo, making this hammer well suited for fast structural demolition and base renovations.
Trivia
- Delivers 50% hammer power, exceeding the 45% power rating of the Silver Hammer.
- Can destroy Shadow Orbs and Crimson Hearts located in world evil chasms.
