Jungle harvesting and spinning leaf blades
Crafted at an Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil using twelve Stingers, fifteen Jungle Spores, and three Vines, the Blade of Grass is a broad jungle broadsword. Swung in wide arcs, it inflicts 18 base melee damage with 4.5 knockback at a Very fast speed. Each broad swing launches a spinning leaf blade projectile forward and carries a chance to inflict Poisoned on struck targets.
Altar sword fusion and legendary broadsword reach
With its sweeping reach and bonus leaf projectile, the Blade of Grass creates an impenetrable defensive perimeter against underground bats and jungle man eaters. Crucially, it serves as a mandatory ingredient alongside Volcano, Muramasa, and Light's Bane to forge the Night's Edge at a Demon Altar or Crimson Altar. Legendary stands as the premier modifier prefix, improving swing velocity, size, and critical strike damage.
Trivia
- In update 1.4.4, the Blade of Grass was reworked to fire spinning leaf projectiles on every swing.
