Mythril Halberd

Anvil fabrication and linear spear thrusts

The Mythril Halberd is crafted using 10 Mythril Bar ingots at a Mythril Anvil or Orichalcum Anvil. It functions as a mid-tier Hardmode polearm that pierces forward along a straight line, striking multiple advancing foes per thrust. With 45 base melee damage and a reach extending several tiles past the character, it keeps enemies outside direct player contact while checking dark alcoves.

Positioning utility and modifier choices

Operating at an Average use time of 26 ticks, the halberd allows players to poke through single-block openings and maintain defensive spacing against aggressive foes like Armored Skeletons. While broadswords offer wide defensive arcs, spears excel at piercing lined-up targets on skyway bridges. Compared to its world counterpart, the Orichalcum Halberd, the Mythril Halberd offers slightly lower single-hit damage in exchange for faster recovery between thrusts. Because spear projectiles do not scale in velocity or size with speed modifiers, Godly stands as the best prefix, maximizing raw damage, knockback, and critical hit rate.

Trivia

• Unlike broadswords, spears such as the Mythril Halberd cannot receive the Legendary modifier due to hardcoded weapon constraints.
