| Boreal Wood Sword | 7 × Boreal Wood | Work Bench |
Snow biome lumbering and wide defensive slashes
Forged at a Work Bench using 7 Boreal Wood chopped from snow biome trees. The broadsword swings in a full overhead arc, delivering 8 base melee damage with 6 knockback at a Very fast pace and a 20 swing delay. This wide cutting arc protects exploring adventurers against jumping slimes and airborne snow flinxes that attempt to ambush the player during surface blizzards.
Wood tier comparisons and progression upgrades
With 8 base damage, it provides a noticeable upgrade over the ordinary wooden sword's 7 damage, matching the damage output of the Palm Wood Sword though swinging one frame slower. It offers an easy early upgrade for players whose spawn point borders the tundra, saving copper bars for mining tools. For players seeking optimal melee performance, the Legendary modifier is the ideal reforge, augmenting damage, attack speed, weapon size, and knockback capabilities.
Trivia
- Boreal Wood was added in update 1.2.4 alongside Palm Wood to give unique regional wood types to different biomes.
- The sword sells for twenty copper coins, matching the uniform resale value of all wooden weapons.
