Bronze Axe FAQ
How do you get Bronze Axe in Valheim?
Bronze Axe is crafted at Forge from Wood x4, Bronze x8, Leather Scraps x2, Iron x1.
What are the stats of Bronze Axe in Valheim?
They are listed above, at every quality level Bronze 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 Bronze Axe use per swing?
A swing of Bronze Axe costs 8 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 Bronze Axe block?
Bronze Axe blocks 12, 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 Bronze Axe slow you down?
Bronze 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 Bronze Axe have?
Bronze Axe has 125–275 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.
