Hellrender — Transmog Set Guide

Hellrender is an epic two-handed axe added in the Warlords of Draenor expansion alongside the Hellfire Citadel raid (patch 6.2). This is a massive weapon of demonic forging. Its appearance is true to the signature style of the Burning Legion and fits perfectly with looks in a green-and-black palette.

As a combat weapon, the axe has long been outdated — its stats are tuned for Draenor levels, and at level 90 it is useless. Its value lies purely in its appearance: the model is sought after by warriors, death knights, and paladins who collect "demonic" sets. Thanks to its bright Fel glow, the axe stands out clearly even from a distance.

Hellrender drops from one of the bosses in the Hellfire Citadel raid — the final raid of the Warlords of Draenor expansion.

• The axe drops from the boss Fel Lord Zakuun, the first enemy of the "Destructor's Rise" wing.
• The item is available on every raid difficulty — Raid Finder, Normal, Heroic, and Mythic — so the easiest approach is to farm it on the lowest difficulty.
• Zakuun is located at the start of his wing, so you can reach him quickly without clearing the entire raid.
• The drop chance is standard for raid weapons, so it may take several weekly runs.
• Additionally, a similar axe was occasionally available as a reward for garrison follower missions, but the main and reliable source for farming the appearance is the drop from Zakuun.

• Harmonizes with "demonic" plate sets in a green-and-black palette — looks in the spirit of the Burning Legion.
• Looks great on death knights with glowing green Fel rune elements.
• Contrasts with the bright plate of a paladin if you are building a "fallen champion" concept.
• Suits warriors who emphasize an aggressive, "hellish" weapon silhouette.
• Pairs well with color schemes that feature poisonous-green accents of Fel fire.
