Lava Battle Axe

The Lava Battle Axe is a rare axe.

Its secondary use, Wide Slash, hits targets within a 4-tile range. The attack takes 0.7 seconds to charge before it lands, making it useful for controlling space and hitting several enemies at once when they cluster close together.

In practice, the Lava Battle Axe rewards positioning more than raw swing speed. The wide slash gives it a stronger area threat than a standard single-target axe attack, so it is especially effective when fighting groups or when you want to keep enemies at a short distance while still dealing damage. Because the attack has a brief charge time, timing and spacing matter; committing too early can leave you exposed, but landing it well can clear a tight group efficiently.

• Secondary use: Wide Slash
• Range: 4 tiles
• Charge time: 0.7 seconds

As a rare weapon, it sits above basic early tools in combat value and is best treated as a specialized melee option rather than a simple harvesting axe.
