What are the stats of Nidhögg the Thundering in Valheim?
They are listed above, at every quality level Nidhögg the Thundering 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 Nidhögg the Thundering use per swing?
A swing of Nidhögg the Thundering costs 16 stamina, with a reach of 2.4 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 Nidhögg the Thundering block?
Nidhögg the Thundering blocks 57, 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 Nidhögg the Thundering slow you down?
Nidhögg the Thundering 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 Nidhögg the Thundering have?
Nidhögg the Thundering has 300–450 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.
