Blade of Grass (demo)

The Blade of Grass attacking and inflicting the Poisoned debuff on a Target Dummy. (pre 1.4.4)

The Blade of Grass is a broadsword. It has a green particle effect resembling leaves when swung, and a 25% chance of inflicting the Poisoned debuff for 7 seconds upon striking enemies.[1]. It is one of the key ingredients in crafting the Night's Edge.

The Blade of Grass is roughly equal in size to the Volcano, making it one of the largest pre-Hardmode swords. When swung, it fires a small, green Leaf Blade projectile that automatically targets enemies within a radius of 9.375 tiles. The Leaf Blade projectile has 20 armor penetration, deals 25% base damage (4 base damage), 100% knockback (4.5 (Average)), and has a 25% chance of inflicting the Poisoned debuff for 7 seconds.

With a slightly longer reach than the Fiery Greatsword (Volcano), it is the largest sword in the game, giving it the greatest melee reach of all swords.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Trivia[]

  • The Blade of Grass is a pun which refers to the fact that individual grass leaves are known as "blades" of grass.
  • The largest swords in the game are the Blade of Grass, Volcano, and Breaker Blade.
  • Prior to the 1.2 update, the Blade of Grass appeared to be a grass sawtooth katana (Blade of Grass (pre-1.2)). This was a reference to the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi (literally "Grasscutter Sword"), a legendary Japanese sword. The sprite was changed into a larger, double-edged sword with a high increase of grass texture.
