What to know
- Maces are heavy blunt weapons designed to punish armored enemies
- Each mace tier follows the same metal progression as other melee weapons
- Maces trade speed for high impact and stagger potential
- Higher tiers are especially effective in late-game combat encounters
Maces are slow, hard-hitting melee weapons in Hytale that focus on raw impact rather than sharp damage. They shine against tough, heavily armored enemies and are ideal for players who prefer deliberate, powerful attacks over fast combos. As you progress through the game, maces become increasingly valuable in difficult biomes and boss fights like the Earthen Golem.

Why mace progression matters in Hytale
Maces reward patience, precision, and positioning. If you enjoy crushing enemies with decisive blows and breaking through defenses, progressing through mace tiers offers a powerful and satisfying combat style.
Maces scale heavily with tier upgrades. Low-tier maces struggle in advanced biomes, while higher-tier versions can stagger and quickly defeat enemies that would otherwise be dangerous.
