The Chlorophyte Saber is a Hardmode sword which occasionally fires a Spore Cloud projectile when swung.

Notes

• The Spore Cloud projectile has a cooldown of (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) 0.47 seconds / (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) 0.7 seconds.
  • While the cooldown is active, the player can neither switch items, look in another direction, nor utilize Auto Select, but they can continue swinging the sword.
  • (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) A small particle effect and the sound for restoring mana will notify the player of a recharged Spore Cloud.
• Melee speed will affect the speed of the Spore Cloud. Its cooldown will remain unchanged, however.
• The Spore Cloud gradually slows down and becomes translucent. It disappears after 1.06 seconds (at base melee speed) and thus has a range of 11.12 tiles.
