Station
Workbench

The Stagbreaker is your first crowd-control weapon, crafted right after Eikthyr. Each slam sends a shockwave through the ground that damages everything nearby, even through walls and floors.

Crafting

You make it at a Workbench once you have the Hard Antler from Eikthyr, plus Wood, Leather Scraps, and a Deer Trophy.

When to Use It

It is heavy and slow, so it is bad one-on-one. Where it shines is clearing Greydwarf packs, dealing with enemies dug in below you, and breaking into Burial Chambers full of skeletons.
