Heavy lead swings for frontline protection
Crafted at an anvil using 8 Lead Bars, the Lead Broadsword offers solid early-game melee security. It swings in a broad overhead arc, dealing 13 base melee damage with 5.5 knockback at 20 use time. The wide strike perimeter easily repels flying demon eyes and walking zombies during nocturnal patrols on the surface, keeping enemies outside striking distance while players gather wood and stone near their base.
Comparison with iron counterparts and combat upgrades
The sword deals slightly more damage than the Iron Broadsword, giving lead worlds an offensive advantage in early combat. It far outclasses the directional Lead Shortsword when handling multiple approaching monsters in caverns. Its wide cleaving arc allows players to knock back clusters of bats and slimes simultaneously in open caverns. It remains dependable until replaced by silver, tungsten, or gold tier weapons. The premier prefix to obtain is Legendary.
Trivia
- Lead broadswords have a slight damage increase over their iron broadsword counterparts.
- It requires 8 Lead Bars to forge, equal to 24 pieces of unsmelted lead ore.
