The War Axe of the Night is in the fifth tier of Axes, being better than the Gold Axe but worse than the Meteor Hamaxe. Like all axes, it is used to cut down Trees and to remove placed Wood blocks.
It requires 10 Demonite Bars, but unlike the lower tier axes, it requires no wood at all. If used and you walk the opposite direction while continuously swinging, you will "moonwalk" (walk backwards).
As the name implies, the War Axe is designed for combat. It does a whopping 20 damage per hit, making it more powerful than the Light's Bane. However, this power comes at a cost: while swinging it, you are unable to turn around unless the player is grappled onto the side of a wall with a grappling hook. It also is not the best choice for chopping wood. Hamaxes are a much better choice for the job, with the obvious downside being that Hamaxes are more difficult to get, requiring the player to either go to the Underworld or have a Meteor fall in the world to get one.

Many players choose this as a Demonite-tier weapon over the Light's Bane, as it has higher damage, has a longer reach, and can be continuously swung (eliminating the need to click multiple times when fighting).
