Thundering Berserkir Axes are built from Flametal and Charred Bone hauled out of the Ashlands, and the Iolite set between them puts lightning behind the blades. They deal 140 slash, 80 chop and 10 lightning. At 230 total damage they rank 2nd for damage among axes, a step on the ladder rather than the top of it. Lightning damage hurts the Lava Blob, Morgen and Blob more than most things, and that is the reason to carry them.
How to Craft
You craft it at a level 4 Black Forge from:
- 1x Berserkir Axes: crafted at a Black Forge.
- 5x Flametal: smelted from Flametal Ore in a Blast Furnace.
- 1x Iolite: found in the Charred Fortresses of the Ashlands.

When to Use It
This is a late game weapon. Flametal comes from the Ashlands, the furthest south the map goes.
Upgrades
Each upgrade needs the station built one step further up than the last. Quality 4 asks for a level 7 Black Forge, but the forge tops out at level 6, so quality 3 is as far as you can take it. Every other figure quoted here is for quality 1, so this table is the ladder your own copy sits somewhere on:
| Quality | Crafting Station | Slash | Lightning | Durability | Resources |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Black forge (Level 4) | 140 | 10 | 175 |
|
| 2 | Black forge (Level 5) | 145 | 10 | 225 | |
| 3 | Black forge (Level 6) | 150 | 10 | 275 | |
| 4 | Black forge (Level 7) | 155 | 10 | 325 |

Properties
The primary combo has 6 hits, which means 6 rolls for chain lightning. Iolite adds 10 lightning and gives the primary a 25% chance to trigger chain lightning. Each chain deals 75 damage that ignores your skill and cannot be blocked or dodged, with an 80% chance to bounce to 2 to 4 more targets within 8 metres. Over a full 4-step combo, you roll that dice 6 times.
Against the Charred in a fortress corridor, the bounces add up in a way no damage figure on this page shows.
Notes
Chopping a tree deals no lightning to it, but the lightning chain can still trigger while the axes chop, and it hits whatever is standing nearby. Larger groups take more damage in total and die faster.
