Seedler

Plantera boss harvest and exploding thorn seeds

Dropped by Plantera in the Underground Jungle with a 14.29% drop rate, corresponding to a 1 in 7 chance in Classic mode, or retrieved from her Treasure Bag in Expert and Master modes. Swinging the blade delivers 50 base melee damage at Fast speed with a 23 use time and 6 knockback while launching an erratic bouncing seed projectile. After traveling a short distance or impacting an obstacle, the seed violently detonates into multiple homing thorn shards that chase down nearby monsters.

Jungle cave clearing and Zenith recipe requirement

The Seedler bridges post-Plantera melee progression alongside the Terra Blade and The Horseman's Blade. Its exploding thorns seek around tight corners, making it effective for navigating the Jungle Temple. Furthermore, it holds permanent endgame value as a mandatory ingredient used to craft the ultimate melee weapon, Zenith.

Trivia

• The initial seed projectile ricochets off solid blocks before detonating into its secondary tracking shards.
• It represents Planteras contribution to the ten swords required for assembling the Zenith blade.
