The Blade of Grass attacking and inflicting the Poisoned debuff on Target Dummies and a Skeleton, spawning its projectiles on each swing. Note how it targets the Skeleton and only pierces two enemies.
The Blade of Grass is a pre-Hardmode sword. When swung, it fires a small green Leaf Blade projectile that flies upwards in a circle, leaving behind visual leaf particles. The Leaf Blade projectile can pass through blocks, deals 25% of the weapon's damage (4 base damage), has 20 armor penetration[1], homes in on enemies within 9.375 tiles, and can pierce two enemies. The sword and its projectiles both have a 1/4 (25%) chance of inflicting the Poisoned debuff for 7 seconds upon hit.[2]
Its best modifier is Legendary.

Trivia
- This weapon's name is a pun on individual grass leaves being known as "blades" of grass.
- Prior to the 1.2 update, the Blade of Grass appeared to be a grass sawtooth katana (
). This was a reference to the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi (literally "Grass-Cutting Sword"), a legendary Japanese sword.
