Green metal smithing and wide sweeping strikes
Constructed from 8 Tungsten Bars at an Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil, the Tungsten Broadsword serves as the mid-tier ore blade for worlds blessed with tungsten veins. It swings with an arcing motion at 19 use time, striking foes for 14 base melee damage while delivering 6 knockback to repel hostile cavern creatures.
Silver counterpart comparison and cavern combat
As the alternate counterpart to the Silver Broadsword, the Tungsten Broadsword edges out silver with slightly higher base damage and knockback. Its wide swing angle helps keep bats, slimes, and early skeletons at bay while mining through cavern layers. While outclassed later by gold or platinum equipment, it provides reliable protection during initial underground exploration trips and early nighttime survival. Reforging it to Legendary provides the optimal prefix for swing reach, attack speed, and damage.
Trivia
- The blade carries a distinct green hue characteristic of tungsten equipment in Terraria.
- Smelting 8 bars requires harvesting 32 raw tungsten ore from underground deposits.
