Weapons and Armor Stats
The goal of this article is to provide a comprehensive look at the damage numbers of every weapon in the game, as well as block numbers for armor
The highest (survival) melee damage is 10, done by the Ninja Dagger obtained by defeating a pirate boss. The Poison staff can hit for a higher 16 damage total, but all but 2 is spread out over 14 seconds.
The strongest melee weapon in the game is the Bane of Pigs, a frying pan from Tinker's Construct, which will one-shot any mob with approximately 21474830 damage. The Bane of Pigs is a joke weapon and is intended to be accessible only from creative mode or the NEI menu. However, due to some incompatibility with Better Dungeons mod, it is obtainable via loot chest in Battle Towers.
