Shovel

The Shovel is a standard melee weapon at A tier — because when planning for revenge, you must dig two graves: one for your enemy, and one for your other enemy. It swings for 60 damage per hit in a 3-swing, 3-hit combo, totaling 90 with 80 stagger.

The combo's signature is its finisher: the third hit lands for four times the first two, so the Shovel rewards players who commit to full combos. Heavy weight, 850 knockback, 4-block reach and the Tank + Support archetype make it a frontline weapon — but note the 3s combo reset, one of the longest in the game, which punishes interruptions heavily.

It drops in Howling Woods, The Deep Dark and Humbler Huskland. Community testing measured about 360 DPS jumping with Lightning Surge, with the usual caveat that this is single-target dummy data and does not capture crowd handling or how demanding the technique is.

A great pick for tank players who enjoy big, deliberate hits and can live with the slow reset rhythm.

The heavy weight and 850 knockback mean enemies feel every swing, and the Tank + Support archetype keeps you standing through trades. Time your combos around the slow 3s reset and the four-times finisher will do the heavy lifting for you.
