Using the Bladed Glove to attack a Target Dummy. Note the short range, but fast attack speed.

The Bladed Glove is a pre-Hardmode broadsword that has a 1/2000 (0.05%) chance of being dropped by any weak enemy during the Halloween seasonal event. It has a very short range, but an exceptionally high attack speed.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Notes

  • The Bladed Glove only receives 50% of any melee speed bonus.
  • As a weapon with autoswing that has its swing speed affected by melee speed, its swings are 1 tick[1] faster than suggested by their use time; this reduction occurs after melee speed is applied and for any weapon with speed affected by melee speed and autoswing, but is more notable for the Bladed Glove due to its already fast use time.

Tips

  • The Fetid Baghnakhs(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) can be considered its Hardmode upgrade.
  • Due to the reduced impact of melee speed bonuses on the Bladed Glove, there are two melee speed benchmarks that affect the weapon's performance. Any first melee speed bonus (such as from Well Fed) will drop the use time by 1 tick[1], while the other melee speed benchmark is 34% (29% with no modifier), which speeds up the swing by another tick[1].
    • 34% melee speed can be reached with Plenty Satisfied, Tipsy, Feral Claws, and one Violent modifier on an accessory.
    • The next melee speed benchmark for the weapon is at 80% melee speed, but this is unobtainable in pre-Hardmode.
  • Broadswords like the Bladed Glove have a cooldown of use time * 0.33 between hits, rounded down[2]; this means that by default, the Bladed Glove can hit an enemy once per 2 ticks[1], while a Legendary Bladed Glove with nonzero melee speed (a use time of 6) can hit an enemy every tick. A given target can still only be hit once per swing, however.
  • Using the Goblin Army is a good way to farm this item, as most of the enemies qualify for it to drop and they spawn constantly.

Trivia

History

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 A tick is a time unit countable by the software. Most of Terraria's updating logic happens every tick. A tick has the length of 1/60th of a second, hence there are 60 ticks in a second and 3600 ticks in a minute.
  2. ↑ Information taken from the Desktop version Desktop 1.4.4.9 source code, method ApplyAttackCooldown() in Player.cs.
