Meat Cleaver

The Meat Cleaver is exactly what it sounds like: a reliable kitchen cleaver repurposed for serving up justice. It is a straightforward melee weapon with no built-in effect, aimed at players who want a solid frame to hang enchantments and gear effects on.

Its numbers are honest mid-pack: 18 damage per hit, 44 full combo, 30 stagger, across a 3-swing, 3-hit combo with 3.5-block reach and a 1.15s reset. Knockback is a standard 700, and it carries the dual Summoner + Support archetype at Medium weight — an unusual pairing that suits builds mixing pet support with frontline presence.

Testing places it at C tier — around 293 DPS jump-cancelling with Lightning Surge — with the caveat that its jump attack is poor, so it rewards grounded combos over aerial play. It drops in The Deep Dark, Humbler Huskland and Lullaby Hills.

For Best Builds that need a dependable common-frame weapon while farming for a unique roll, the Meat Cleaver does the job without fuss. Push it through Minecraft Dungeons II Enchanting Guide and it will carry you until something flashier drops.
