Stardew Valley: Best Club Weapons

In Stardew Valley, the combat system is pretty easy to learn. Walk up to an enemy and click to swing. The only real differences in combat styles are how quickly players swing and how much damage each swing is worth.

Clubs are the weapons of choice for players who prefer to make each click count. They’re slow, but hit hard enough to send enemies flying across the cave floor. With the right timing, players won’t need to spam buttons too hard in order to win. The real question is, which clubs give heavy-hitting players the best bang for their buck?

6 The Slammer

Slow But Steady

Level:	7
Damage:	40-55
Stats:	Speed -2
Where to Obtain:	The Mines (Floors 81-99) Skull Cavern (Floors 40+) The Mine (Floor 110 chest reward, remixed Mines reward only)

In truth, lower-level clubs usually aren’t worth the trouble. The decrease in speed makes them pretty cumbersome, and the damage output just isn’t worth it compared to a good sword. Let’s face it: Stardew Valley really likes making good swords. This can make it hard for players to branch out with their preferred weapons.

But while The Slammer is still pretty slow, it’s one of the better early-game options for clubs. It’s the first one where players can really get some satisfaction out of spacing out their attacks. It probably won’t be anyone’s go-to weapon for long, but it’s a good option for club-wielders who are just starting out.

5 Kudgel

The Kudgel That Bludgels

Level:	5
Damage:	27-40
Stats:	Speed -1 Crit. Power +50 Weight +2
Where to Obtain:	The Mines (Floors 110+) The Mine (Floor 80 chest reward, remixed Mines reward only)

If the Slammer didn’t sell gamers on clubs, the Kudgel just might. Even though it’s a lower level and does less damage than the Slammer, the Kudgel has stats that more than make up for it. For starters, its negative Speed stat is lesser, and its Weight of +2 gives each swing an additional knockback.

That’s the main draw of using clubs — it’s harder for enemies to corner the player when they’re being hurled through the air. This also gives players a little breathing room to down some food if they’re low on health. Even better, the Kudgel also has an impressive Crit. Power +50, meaning that when players land a critical hit, it’s going to deal a ton of extra damage.

4 Dwarf Hammer

Knock Enemies Back With Some Dwarven Craftsmanship

Level:	13
Damage:	75-85
Stats:	Defense +2 Weight +5
Where to Obtain:	Volcano Dungeon Chest

Dwarves are typically known for being sturdy fighters, using heavy battle hammers to send enemies flying. The Dwarf Hammer allows players to do exactly that, with a little extra defense boost to boot.

Speaking of stats, notice something missing? That’s right — higher-level do away with the decreased speed. After all, a good club knows how to throw its weight around. And with a Weight of +5, the Dwarf Hammer sends enemies clear across the board.

3 Dragontooth Club

Forged From The Molars Of An Ancient Beast

Level:	14
Damage:	80-100
Stats:	Crit. Power +50 Weight +3
Where to Obtain:	Volcano Dungeon Chest

If players don’t find the Dwarf Hammer while exploring the volcano, they might just find something even better. The only thing sturdier than a dwarf is a dragon.

The Dragontooth Club is easily the best club weapon found on Ginger Island. While its Weight is slightly less than the Dwarf Hammer, it easily outclasses it in terms of raw damage output. And besides, sometimes players don’t want to wait a whole year for enemies to come back in range for another swing.

2 Galaxy Hammer

Hit Hard, Hit Fast

Level:	12
Damage:	70-90
Stats:	Speed +2 Weight +5
Where to Obtain:	Adventurer’s Guild (after obtaining the Galaxy Sword)

Think of the Galaxy Hammer as the perfect blend between the Dwarf Hammer and the Dragontooth Club. It hits likes a freight train, knocks enemies back, and it even has a speed boost. That’s right, not a decrease, a boost. It’s like all the benefits of a great sword without any of the downsides of a club.

But let’s say that players already have a Dragontooth Club and just aren’t willing to give up on the extra damage. Well, don’t worry. Because unlike every other type of weapon in the game, the Galaxy Weapons can be upgraded. Thanks to the 1.5 update, they now have a final form.

1 Infinity Gavel

Totally Worth It

Level:	17
Damage:	100-120
Stats:	Speed +2 Defense +1 Weight +5
Where to Obtain:	Combine the Galaxy Hammer with 3 Galaxy Souls in the Forge

Collecting Galaxy Souls is no small feat. Players need to get to Ginger Island, unlock Qi’s Walnut Room, and either complete a whole bunch of his special quests or craft 10 Radioactive Bars to give the Island Trader. It’s the ultimate test of the player’s skill, but the reward for doing so is well worth it.

It can be tough to decide which Galaxy weapon to upgrade first (assuming players want to upgrade more than one, of course). The Infinity Gavel definitely makes a strong case for itself, though. It has the biggest damage output in the entire game, bar none. Add to that its boost to Speed, Defense, and Weight, and it definitely gives the other Infinity weapons some stiff competition.
