For an extensive guide to crafting this item, see Guide:Crafting a Terra Blade.

The Terra Blade is a Hardmode, post-Plantera sword. When swung, a green aura follows the swing, reaching farther than the sword itself. The aura can hit up to three enemies. The sword will also fire a green slash projectile that pierces infinitely, dealing the weapon's damage but reducing its damage by 25% for each target it pierces.[1] The projectile will disappear after 1.5 seconds,[2] upon hitting a solid block, or when its damage falls to 0 after piercing.[3]

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Tips

  • Due to the fast speed and high damage of the projectiles, it is very effective to use the Terra Blade even at long distances. However, using the close ranged swing is important to maximize the damage output.
  • Because the Terra Blade shoots a projectile that can penetrate through enemies, it is highly effective when fighting against hordes of enemies or for events such as the Pirate Invasion or Martian Madness.
  • When seeking to craft the Terra Blade, it is recommended to gradually get all the materials needed as the player progresses through the game instead of having to scramble and collect everything when all materials are available.
  • Because this weapon has a high rate of fire, damage output, and fires piercing projectiles, it can prove rather effective in the Old One's Army event. Standing right in front of the Eternia Crystal and shooting projectiles horizontally can easily deal with all the ground enemies, while the constantly swinging sword will make it harder for the Etherian Wyverns to land an attack.
  • Unlike other projectile-firing melee weapons, the Terra Blade's projectile fire rate scales with the main sword's attack speed. Due to this, it gets a large boost from melee speed buffs.

Trivia

  • Crafting the Terra Blade requires obtaining a total of eight different usable swords.
  • The Terra Blade's functionality is a combination of both of its ingredient weapons: the piercing projectiles of the True Night's Edge and the extended melee slash attacks of the True Excalibur.
  • The Terra Blade resembles the Night's Edge, featuring a curved blade with holes in its side.
  • The Terra Blade appears in the video game Dungeon Defenders 2 as part of a crossover.
