The Broken Hero Sword is a Hardmode, post-Plantera crafting material. It has a 1/4 (25%) / 7/16 (43.75%) chance of being dropped by Mothrons.

It is not a weapon itself, and therefore cannot be swung, reforged, or placed on a Weapon Rack.

Notes

• The Broken Hero Sword drop explicitly requires that all three mechanical bosses have been defeated. This is always the case in regular gameplay, since it is a prerequisite to fighting Plantera and Mothron, but if Mothron is encountered earlier because of mods or other third-party tools, then it will not drop a Broken Hero Sword.

Tips

• Given the drop rate, it is not guaranteed to obtain a Broken Hero Sword during a Solar Eclipse. Therefore, it can be a good idea to use Water Candles and/or Battle Potions during a Solar Eclipse to increase the number of opportunities of having one or even multiple Broken Hero Swords dropped.

Trivia

• This item is an allusion to the classic literary trope of the disgraced or defeated hero who must repair their sword, or the similar trope of taking up the weapon of a past hero (perhaps killed by the monster dropping this item) to fulfill a destiny.
