Post-Plantera Dungeon broadsword and execute bonus damage

Keybrand is a Hardmode sword dropped by post-Plantera Dungeon armored skeletons: Blue Armored Bones, Rusty Armored Bones, and Hell Armored Bones with a 0.33% drop rate. It deals 105 base melee damage at Very fast speed with 20% base critical strike chance. The sword features an execution mechanic, increasing its strike damage by up to 150% as the targeted enemy remaining health drops toward zero.

Weakened foe finishing and melee critical setups

While lacking the ranged projectiles of swords like the Terra Blade, Keybrand excels as a close-quarters finisher against tanky Dungeon enemies and mini-bosses. Its bonus damage scales dynamically, dealing its peak multiplier when striking wounded targets with low remaining life. Stacking critical strike accessories like the Mechanical Glove and Fire Gauntlet alongside Beetle Scale Mail ensures devastating execute blows. The best modifier is Legendary.

Trivia

  • Deals scaling execution damage, gaining up to 150% bonus damage against enemies with low health.
  • Drops from armored bone variants inside the Dungeon after Plantera is defeated.
