The Mythril Chainsaw is a Hardmode chainsaw that is the chainsaw alternative to the Mythril Waraxe. Along with its slightly stronger alternate the Orichalcum Chainsaw, it is stronger than the Cobalt or Palladium Chainsaw but weaker than the Adamantite or Titanium Chainsaw which can be obtained later.

Like all axes and chainsaws, it is used to cut down trees, cacti and giant glowing mushrooms.

Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount. However, Ruthless might be preferred if the player already has very high critical strike chance.
