Smalland: Survive the Wilds – Best Endgame Tools/Weapons Overview

Best Weapons/Tools

Better hatchet

Far as I can tell, flint hatchet. Seems like a tier is missing. There are a BUNCH of high tier axes. But none say “harvest damage”. They’re all melee weapons.

Best piercing weapon

The Stinger Lance and Morningstar are the same weapon. When comparing it to the Chitin Spear, they both do the same base piercing damage (20-28). However, the Stinger Lance adds poison damage (10-12) on top of that.

What makes this weapon special is that it’s the first poison weapon that causes damage over time (DOT) to enemies. The damage over time is around 3 points per tick. While it’s not a huge advantage, since you need to be in close combat anyway, the total damage from the poison effect equals about 1-2 extra spear hits. This was tested against the large roaches in the Graylands area.

Best edged damage weapon

For me, the iron sword. Does a cool two hit combo. You have to learn to time your attacks so the second strike will actually hit the enemy. Enemies that move around a lot can dance out of the way of the 2nd strike, and you swing through nothing.

I prefer swords to the axes. The swords seem faster (animation wise).

The iron scythe is nice too, does a forward chop, and then a 360 spin attack. The spin attack strangely doesn’t seem to hit multiple targets. I was testing it on the graylands flies (which attack in packs), and I could slice and dice one at a time. But seemed like just one each attack. Might be a bug.

The scythe is one of the FEW things in game with a crit chance higher then 5% (that being 10%). Very hard to tell if that was really making a difference.
