(Old-gen console and 3DS versions) The Keybrand attacking a
Target Dummy.
The Keybrand is a Hardmode, post-Plantera sword. On the Desktop version, Console version, and Mobile version, it deals increased damage against previously injured enemies. Upon hitting enemies that have less than 10% health remaining, the Keybrand deals a maximum of 150% additional damage for a total of 250%, as well as causing a sparkling visual effect upon damaging an enemy. The Keybrand also has a 20% critical strike chance as opposed to the usual 4%. The Keybrand has a 1/200 (0.5%) / 399/40000 (1%) chance of being dropped by Blue Armored Bones, Hell Armored Bones, and Rusty Armored Bones in the post-Plantera Dungeon.
Its best modifier is Legendary.
Notes
- (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) The following formula is used when determining the amount of damage that will be dealt:[1]
- If the hit enemy has more than 10% HP: [math]\displaystyle{ \mathit{Damage} \times \left(1 + \frac{5}{3} \times \left(1 - \frac{\mathit{HP_{Current}}}{\mathit{HP_{Max}}}\right)\right) }[/math]
- (This means, for every 1% of the enemy's health missing, the damage will be increased by [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{1}{60} }[/math].)
- If the hit enemy has less than 10% HP: [math]\displaystyle{ \mathit{Damage} \times 2.5 }[/math]
- In Don't dig up(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) and Get fixed boi(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) worlds, the Keybrand receives the following changes:
- Switched place with Katana. As a result, it is sold by the Traveling Merchant, instead of dropped by Hardmode Dungeon enemies.
- Damage decreased from 105 to 15.
- Value decreased from 20 GC to 10 GC.

Tips
- (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) The Keybrand's ability to do more damage against previously injured targets makes it an exceptionally good choice against slow-moving, high-health targets such as Nailhead or the Ogre.
Trivia
- The Keybrand is based on the Keyblade, a weapon used in the action role-playing game series Kingdom Hearts. It bears an especially strong resemblance to the Keyblade named the Kingdom Key, which Sora wields.
- (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) The Keybrand's visual effects when striking enemies are likely a reference to similar bright effects that appear when striking enemies with the Keyblade throughout the Kingdom Hearts series.
- Despite being a key, it does not unlock anything.
- The Keybrand is the best of the weapons that create no projectiles.
- Until 1.3.5, items had an unused internal name. Between its introduction and 1.3.0.1, the Keybrand's name was Lockblade,[2] which may have been its original name during development. This name was never visible in-game.
