Zenith

Elliptical blade trajectories and cursor tracking

Zenith functions by projecting a storm of spinning swords along sweeping elliptical paths directly toward the player's cursor. Unlike conventional melee broadswords, it ignores line-of-sight constraints and passes cleanly through solid tiles, permitting players to strike enemies through barriers, inside sealed boss arenas, or deep underground. The weapon hits with 190 base melee damage, 6.5 knockback, and an innate 14% critical strike rate, rapidly damaging any entity lingering within its convergence zone.

Progression blade requirements and forge assembly

Assembling Zenith requires combining ten individual swords gathered across all stages of game progression at a Mythril Anvil or Orichalcum Anvil. Crafting demands pre-Hardmode staples such as the Copper Shortsword, Enchanted Sword, Starfury, and Bee Keeper, Hardmode boss drops including the Seedler and The Horseman's Blade, the invasion reward Influx Waver, the iconic Terra Blade, and two post-Moon Lord drops: Star Wrath and Meowmere. The Legendary prefix provides the highest possible performance boost.

Trivia

• The recipe unites the player's initial starter weapon, the Copper Shortsword, with the final drops from the Moon Lord.
• During its swing animation, ghost projections of all ten constituent swords cycle through the visual blade trail.
