Economical mythril smithing and swift blade swings
Crafted using merely 8 Mythril Bars at a Mythril Anvil or Orichalcum Anvil, the Mythril Sword offers an accessible entry into tier-two Hardmode melee combat. It provides native autoswing combined with an energetic 20 use time, allowing adventurers to slash repeatedly against approaching enemies without exhausting excessive ore reserves during the initial mining phase.
Pacing comparisons and legendary reforging
With 50 base melee damage, this blade strikes with less per-hit force than an Orichalcum Sword, but compensates with a noticeably faster swing cadence. The nimble swing rate creates a dependable defensive buffer against swarming possessed armors and wraiths in newly infected underground zones. While effective for clearing surface swarms and basic cavern skeletons, its lack of ranged beam projection makes engaging flying bosses hazardous. Warriors typically move past it once tier-three ores are processed or when crafting Excalibur. Reforging to Legendary brings optimal bonuses to damage, swing speed, knockback, and critical strike chance.
Trivia
- Requiring only 8 bars to craft, the Mythril Sword is among the least ore-expensive Hardmode broadswords to manufacture.
- Its greenish blade features a clean metallic crossguard reflecting classical fantasy sword designs.
