Iron Axe FAQ
How do you get Iron Axe in Valheim?
Iron Axe is crafted at Forge from Wood x4, Iron x20, Leather Scraps x2, Silver x1.
What are the stats of Iron Axe in Valheim?
They are listed above, at every quality level Iron 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 Iron Axe use per swing?
A swing of Iron Axe costs 10 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 Iron Axe block?
Iron Axe blocks 21, 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 Iron Axe slow you down?
Iron 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 Iron Axe have?
Iron 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.
