Animation of the Terra Blade when using melee speed enhancers.

The Terra Blade is a Hardmode beam sword, and is the highest base damaging sword in the Template:Console iconTemplate:Mobile iconConsole and Mobile versions. It auto-swings firing a green bolt projectile that costs no Mana or ammunition and can pierce up to two enemies, dissipating upon impacting a third. The beam can travel up to 5000 feet (2500 blocks) at a speed of 67 mph. This beam will only be stopped due to hitting a wall or hitting 3 enemies. It will graphically disappear upon leaving the player's screen, but will be visible again if they teleport in its direction. Effects from a Flask will transfer to the sword beam as well.

Its best Modifier is Legendary.

Sword of the Hero • “”

Obtain a Terra Blade, forged from the finest blades of light and darkness. Template:Desktop icon

Notes

• The sword can be swung (and its projectile fired) faster by rapidly clicking, rather than using autoswing.
• Improvements to the weapon's melee speed increase the velocity of the beam.
• The Terra Blade is crafted from the True Night's Edge and True Excalibur, both of which require the Broken Hero Sword. The Broken Hero Sword drops from enemies during Solar Eclipses (which have a 5% chance of occuring each day once a Mechanical Boss has been defeated). On the  PC version it drops from Mothron (which requires all Mechanical Bosses to be defeated), and on Template:Console iconTemplate:Mobile iconConsole and Mobile, it drops from both Frankenstein and Swamp Thing.
• Template:Pc icon Although the Terra Blade can be crafted after defeating all three Mechanical Bosses, it is more viable to finish making it post-Plantera. Solar Tablet Fragments, which are found in the Jungle Temple (entry requires Plantera's defeat), can be used to summon Solar Eclipses rather than wait for one.

Tips

• Some may argue whether the Terra Blade or the Horseman's Blade is more powerful. Damage-wise, the Terra Blade is better for both melee and ranged attacks.

Trivia

• It is made out of 8 usable swords.
• The projectile fired by the Terra Blade is referred to as the "Terra Beam" in death messages.
• During a blood moon the Terra Blade will turn into a redish orangish color, shooting orange projectiles instead of green.
• Before 1.3 it was the strongest sword.
• The sword's beam resembles the True Excalibur's beam with the color of the True Night's Edge's beam.
