Slayer FAQ
How do you get Slayer in Valheim?
Slayer is crafted at Black Forge from Flametal x30, Asksvin Hide x5, Morgen Sinew x3, Flametal x1.
What are the stats of Slayer in Valheim?
They are listed above, at every quality level Slayer 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 Slayer use per swing?
A swing of Slayer costs 20 stamina, with a reach of 2.6 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 Slayer block?
Slayer blocks 64, 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 Slayer slow you down?
Slayer 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 Slayer have?
Slayer 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.
