Weapon
The hand axe can hit up to 2 enemies at a time (with multi-hit enabled), dealing a maximum of 1.5 damage to enemies (unless a critical hit) from up to 1.1 tiles away at an attack speed of 1.
Chopping trees
A hand axe is a decent choice when chopping trees and collecting logs to turn into planks using a saw. It does 15 damage per swing. For comparison, a regular axe deals 35.
Breaking doors
A hand axe is a decent choice when breaking down doors. It does 20 damage per swing. For comparison, a regular axe deals 35.
Condition
The hand axe has a maximum condition of 10. Its rate of degradation is influenced by the axe and maintenance skills. The chance of losing durability can be simplified to the following formula: 1 in (15 + maintenanceMod × 2)
. Where "maintenanceMod" is calculated using the axe and maintenance skills.
Below is an example of the chance of losing durability at varying levels of the maintenance and axe skills.
Maintenance skill | Weapon skill | Durability lower chance |
---|---|---|
0 | 0 | 1/15 (7%) |
0 | 4 | 1/17 (6%) |
0 | 8 | 1/19 (5%) |
4 | 0 | 1/19 (5%) |
8 | 0 | 1/23 (4%) |
4 | 4 | 1/21 (5%) |
4 | 8 | 1/23 (4%) |
8 | 8 | 1/27 (4%) |
10 | 10 | 1/29 (3%) |
