Wide silver arc swings and surface defense
Forged at an Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil with 8 Silver Bars, the Silver Broadsword provides dependable close-quarters security. It swings overhead in a wide protective arc, dealing 14 base melee damage with 6 knockback at 20 use time. This sweeping motion keeps flying demon eyes and approaching surface zombies safely pushed away during early night cycles, giving players ample breathing room while constructing shelters or exploring.
Comparison with tungsten blades and optimal reforges
Serving as the mid-tier ore blade for worlds blessed with silver deposits, it offers a major upgrade over copper and tin swords. While the Tungsten Broadsword has slightly higher base damage, the silver broadsword boasts swift swing recovery and solid knockback. It easily surpasses the thrust-only Silver Shortsword when handling enemy swarms in open terrain. It remains a trustworthy defensive weapon until gold or platinum deposits are tapped. The optimal modifier is Legendary.
Trivia
- Crafting the Silver Broadsword requires 8 Silver Bars, which translates to 32 silver ore.
- It swings faster than earlier copper and tin swords while covering a wider striking area.
