| Orichalcum Halberd | 12 × Orichalcum Bar | Mythril Anvil |
Magenta polearm smithing and piercing thrust reach
Constructed from 12 Orichalcum Bars at a Mythril Anvil or Orichalcum Anvil, the Orichalcum Halberd serves as a tier-two Hardmode spear. Thrusting outward at a 25 speed, its bladed tip pierces through multiple aligned enemies in a straight line, damaging them sequentially while holding hostile creatures away from the player during cavern mining trips.
Underground crowd spacing and godly modifier
Providing 46 base melee damage with 5.5 knockback, the halberd offers dependable defense in claustrophobic cavern tunnels where broadswords might lack focused forward range. Its elongated shaft allows players to strike enemies while maintaining elevation advantages on rope coils or platforms. While outclassed later by tier-three spears and Gungnir, it provides reliable protection against early Hardmode swarms. Because spears cannot benefit from size or swing speed bonuses, Godly stands as the finest modifier to boost damage, critical strike probability, and knockback impact.
Trivia
- The Orichalcum Halberd sports an ornate magenta spearhead that matches the floral motif of orichalcum equipment.
- Its long thrust reaches through two-block walls, allowing safe attacks against monsters behind thin barriers.
