Hammers and axes are two of the most forgotten tools that you can obtain in Terraria, often being overshadowed by weaponry, pickaxes🔯, and even a slew of non-standard tools like the Shellphone. Used for block modification and tree cutting respectively, the two tools are certainly important to overall gameplay, but their quality rarely comes into play as a 🍨factor in progression.
Given their place at the bottom of the totem pole, hammers and axes were put together into a hybrid class known as Hamaxes, saving a slot of space in your inventory for the important treasures you'll find on your journey. The best of these tools can outperform their component parts, making them well worth looking into.
9 𒁏 ♎ Haemorrhaxe
The Haemorrhaxe isn't the worst performing of the Hamaxes by a long shot, being the first of the class to be able to break evil-biome altars as well as outdoing the tiers that come before it by a fine margin. The big issue with this tool is actually found in the way its obtained.
You have a one in eight chance of finding the Haemorrhaxe by killing either the Blood Eel or Hemogoblin Shark, both of which 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:can only be fought when fishing during a Hardmode Blood Moon. Thanks to multiple layers of luck coming into play when trying to obtain this Hamaxe, it can be a total hassle to get your hands on– it isn't worth the effort when it gets so easily replaced Post-Plantera.
8 🔯 Meteor Hamaxe
The Meteor Hamaxe is bound to be your first of the game, made from Meteorite obtained in the Meteorite biome after defeating either the Eater of Worlds or Brain of Cthulu. Since you'll probably end up getting enough Meteorite from one trip to the biome to make everything you need, this Hamaxe won't be using resources that could be better utilized in weapons or armor.
The main reason the Meteor Hamaxe sits near bottom of the rankings for its class isn't just that it's weaker than its contemporaries, but also that it's weaker than both a hammer and axe that can be found well before it's accessible. While most Hamaxes are challenged by the Axe of Regrowth, only the Meteor Hamaxe fails to measure up against the Rockfish hammer.
7 Molten Hamaxe 𒁃 ౠ
While the Molten Hamaxe is better than its predecessor in terms of raw stats, it also gains an edge through the fact that it can be obtained just as early– given that you're likely to have already made a pickaxe out of evil-biome ore by the time a Meteorite falls, you can rush the Underworld and get the items to make this tool immediately.
The big sticking point is that it isn't cost-effective to make a Molten Hamaxe, thanks to the difficulty involved with obtaining Hellstone. It's generally better to make armor, picks, and weapons with any ore you get your hands on, but this Hamaxe remains a great pick if you're planning on doing a ton of building before beating the Wall of Flesh.
6 Spectre Hamaxe ♕ 🍰
T♍he Spectre Hamaxe is a Post-Plantera tool made of Spectre Bars, requiring extensive farming in the Dungeon and Jungle to craft. For all of that effort, it provides great power that can do the job fairly well until Post-Moon Lord.
Considering how long it takes to obtain Spectre Bars, you'll have to think carefully about whether this Hamaxe is worth it– if you run a magic build, your hard-earned materials would be much better used for Spectre Armor, which can completely change the way you play your class. Otherwise, the Spectre Hamaxe is likely to be in your pocket until the endgame.
5 🗹 Solar Flare Hamaxe
Because the Luminite Hamaxes all possess the same stats, the thing that really separates them is how difficult they are to obtain– considering that the Solar Pillar is the hardest one to take down, you'd be much better off trying to farm the other Pillars than trying to battle 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:some of the ha💖rdes🃏t non-boss enemies in the game.
On top of it already being one of the more difficult to get, it also takes away from getting your hands on the Solar Flare Armor. While every Luminite set is good, the Solar Flare set serves the melee class, which is desperate for good armor more than any of the other🅰 classes.
4 Stardust꧂ Hamaxe
The Stardust Hamaxe is actually the easiest of the Hamaxes to get your hands on, which is why it might be surprising to find it only a step above the Solar Flare Hamaxe. Despite how easy it is to get, the resources used for it are critical to a number of items that make you question if it's worth the sacrifice..
Stardust Fragments are the material of the summoner class, which needs great armor to boost the effectiveness 🍸of its summons. On top of that, the fragments m🙈ake some of the best summoner weapons in the game, which are always a good investment regardless of your class.
3 🧔 Nebula Hamaxe
The Nebula Fragments necessary to make th꧋is Hamaxe are🦹 the second easiest to obtain from the Lunar Events, only more difficult than the Stardust Pillar thanks to the overwhelming Nebula Floaters.
Nebula armor and weapons 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:suit the magic class of Terraria, which generally needs less help in combat thanks to the powerful Spectre Armor. Even if you are a member of the magic class, the decision to craft this Hamaxe is completely up in the air depending on your current setup– if you comfortably defeated the Nebula Pillar, then you're probably good to go with this tool.
2 🌼 Vortex Hamaxe ♍
The Vortex Hamaxe isn't the easiest to make, but because of how overserved the ranged class is, it's the most logical of the four Luminite Hamaxes. While the Vortex Armor is great, the Shroomite Armor actually does more for gun-slingers thanks to its multiplicative damage buff.
The only reason that the Vortex Hamaxe would be a bad choice for any ranged build is that you particularly e🅺njoy being able to move with your stealth buff, rather than needing to stand still with the Shroomite gear. Otherwise, 💜this Hamaxe provides the top-tier stats that its siblings offer without hurting your material reserves.
1 The Axe
Strangely, the best Hamaxe in the game is actually P♛re-Golem, obtainable as ♔a rare drop from Plantera. The Axe outclasses the Luminite Hamaxes by having a superior Axe Power, but ties with them when it comes to Hammer Power.
Thanks to how much easier Plantera is than the Lunar Pillars, the process of farming for this Hamaxe isn't nearly as time-consuming or dangerous (especially if you build an arena). Even better, you won't be using any materials that could be components in other items, since this tool is dropped rather than crafted.
