650 HP. Hits assume you never hit the bonus marker. The last hit adds 300 Wood to a tool that wastes little of each hit. A tool that wastes part of each hit empties it in fewer hits but gets less; a tilde marks an average. The Jackhammer and the Chainsaw count every swing as a bonus hit.

Drink before chopping. Super Serum (event only) gives +500%. A Bear Pie multiplies the tea's bonus by 1.5 (Rich Bear Pie: 1.75) for 15 min, but the tea runs out 2× as fast while the pie lasts. Tea and pie combos shows how long each mix lasts and its ingredients.
