Not to be confused with the Hardmode-exclusive Obsidian Swordfish, another spear which is obtained through fishing.
Animation of the Swordfish. Note its piercing abilities.

The Swordfish is a pre-Hardmode spear obtainable through fishing in the Ocean biome.

Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount. However, Ruthless might be preferred if the player already has very high critical strike chance.

Tips

  • This weapon is easy to acquire early, relative to its strength, and can sustain new players for a good while.
  • Due to its short range, it is not advisable to bring into tougher battles, e.g. against bosses.

Trivia

  • Despite having sword in the name, this weapon is not a sword, but a spear.
  • Due to how big the sprite of the weapon is, it appears to go through the player's shoulder when attacking with it.
