Black Metal Axe FAQ
How do you get Black Metal Axe in Valheim?
Black Metal Axe is crafted at Forge from Finewood x6, Black Metal x20, Linen Thread x5, Black Metal x1.
What are the stats of Black Metal Axe in Valheim?
They are listed above, at every quality level Black Metal Axe reaches. Some of those figures come from Valheim's own item tooltip; the rest — reach, swing arc, combo length, what the secondary attack multiplies — are read from the game files, because the tooltip never shows them.
How much stamina does Black Metal Axe use per swing?
A swing of Black Metal Axe costs 14 stamina, with a reach of 2.2 m. Stamina is what actually decides a fight in Valheim rather than raw damage: your food sets the pool, and a weapon that costs less per swing keeps you attacking where a heavier one leaves you standing still waiting to recover.
How much damage does Black Metal Axe block?
Black Metal Axe blocks 39, and a parry taken on the right frame multiplies that by 2. Both numbers are then scaled by your Blocking skill, so what is listed here is the floor rather than the ceiling.
Does Black Metal Axe slow you down?
Black Metal Axe changes your movement speed by -5%. Valheim adds that figure up across everything equipped — both hands, all four armour slots, the utility slot and the trinket — so a heavy set with a shield reaches a number you can feel, and it applies to the stamina that running and jumping drain as well as to speed.
How much durability does Black Metal Axe have?
Black Metal Axe has 175–325 durability, and can be repaired for free at a crafting station that covers it — repairing costs nothing but the trip, so there is never a reason to carry a worn one home.
