#TERRARIA ENCHANTED SWORD UPGRADE#

Though it is statistically a direct upgrade to the Enchanted Sword, it does not autoswing.

The Beam Sword is very similar to the Enchanted Sword, in appearance and in effect.

The Beam Sword generates a sword beam that shares a resemblance to those generated by Link, the protagonist of the fantasy action-adventure video game series The Legend of Zelda, when at full health.

The Beam Sword's name is based off a common video game trope of heroic swordsmen having the ability to generate an energy projectile from their weapon, granting them an option for engaging enemies outside of their sword's range.

The Beam Sword can hit an enemy twice in a single swing, once with the sword itself and another with the beam, doing double damage while doing so.

The Frostbrand, an alternative to the Beam Sword, has autoswing and can pierce one enemy with its projectile, but its damage and swing speed are lower.

Unlike most other projectile melee weapons, the Beam Sword lacks autoswing.

Its cooldown will remain unchanged, however.

Melee speed will affect the speed of the Sword Beam.

This allows it to ignore any piercing invincibility frames that enemies gain from being hit by the sword.

The Sword Beam cannot penetrate blocks or enemies.

A small particle effect and the sound for restoring mana will notify the player of a recharged Sword Beam.

While the cooldown is active, the player can neither switch items, look in another direction, nor utilize Auto Select, but they can continue swinging the sword.

The Sword Beam projectile has a cooldown of 0.58 seconds / 1 second.

Like the Enchanted Boomerang, the Enchanted Sword has an ice counterpart, the Ice Blade, which also has a projectile but does less damage. The design bears strong resemblance to the Master Sword wielded by Link in The Legend of Zelda Series, including the blue blade and hilt, and it fires a sword-shaped projectile much like Link's sword does in most Legend of Zelda games. Similar themes have since appeared in other media. The concept of a sword being stuck in stone originates from the 13th century poem Merlin by Robert de Boron, in which King Arthur was the only person able to pull a sword from its resting place in a stone. Rarely, this weapon is replaced with the Arkhalis, a very rare weapon. Due to it's projectile, some would even argue that it is the best pre-hardmode sword in the game.

If found early on, it can be an incredibly powerful early-game weapon, vastly outclassing all pre-hardmode metal weapons. Enchanted Swords may be found in other random locations as well, though they are still very rare, and will not necessarily be present in all generated worlds. Instead, they will go straight (Boomerangs normally curve) and once. This weapon does not follow the same AI as boomerangs do.

However, the Enchanted Sword and its related weapons function differently than normal boomerangs.

It is dropped by Enchanted Swords with a 20 (1 in 5) chance. The Enchanted Sword may be found in an underground Enchanted Sword Shrine, a land formation ('mini-biome') that has a chance of generating on world creation. The Enchanted Sword is a Hardmode boomerang. The projectiles can fire roughly every 1-2 seconds. Both the sword and its projectiles produce lingering sparks that emit large amounts of light. It auto-swings and fires a sword projectile that costs no ammunition or mana. The Enchanted Sword is an extremely rare sword.
