Thunderblood Greataxe FAQ

How do you get Thunderblood Greataxe in Valheim?

Thunderblood Greataxe is crafted at Black Forge from Nord Greataxe x1, Bloodgold x20, Thunderblood Essence x1, Bloodgold x1.

What are the stats of Thunderblood Greataxe in Valheim?

They are listed above, at every quality level Thunderblood Greataxe 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 Thunderblood Greataxe use per swing?

A swing of Thunderblood Greataxe costs 22 stamina, with a reach of 2.5 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 Thunderblood Greataxe block?

Thunderblood Greataxe blocks 76, 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 Thunderblood Greataxe slow you down?

Thunderblood Greataxe changes your movement speed by -20%. 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 Thunderblood Greataxe have?

Thunderblood Greataxe has 400–550 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.
