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

The Terra Blade is a Hardmode projectile sword crafted from a True Excalibur and True Night's Edge. When used, it fires a green sword-shaped projectile which costs neither mana nor ammunition, deals 25% more damage than the sword, and can pierce through two enemies, dissipating upon hitting a third enemy or a wall. The projectile can travel up to 5000 feet (2500 blocks) at a speed of 61 mph.

The Terra Blade becomes available after defeating one ( ) / all ( ) mechanical bosses.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Speed-increasing sword modifiers increase the velocity and fire rate of the projectile. Melee speed accessories will instead only increase the swinging speed of the sword and the velocity of the projectile, but not the fire rate.

Effects from a flask will apply to the sword's projectile as well.

The sword's projectile will graphically disappear upon leaving the player's screen but will be visible again if they teleport in its direction.

Quickly pressing the fire button, as opposed to holding it down, will result in a faster fire rate for the projectiles.

Due to the fast speed and high damage of the beams, it is very effective to use the Terra Blade more as a projectile weapon than an actual sword. Even without the sword itself, it can still do massive amounts of damage at long ranges without the use of bullets or mana.

Because the Terra Blade shoots projectile beams that can penetrate through enemies, this melee weapon is highly beneficial 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 you need as you progress through the game instead of having to scramble and collect everything when all materials are available.
