Beam Sword



The Beam Sword is a rare Hardmode sword that fires a gold-colored projectile which also emits a small amount of light. It can be swung more frequently than its projectile can fire. It has a 1/150 (0.67%) chance of being dropped by Armored Skeletons.

Tips

 * Unlike most other projectile melee weapons, the Beam Sword lacks autoswing, so using the Feral Claws is advised.

Trivia

 * 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 generates a sword beam that shares a resemblance to those generated by Link in The Legend Of Zelda when at full health.
 * The Frostbrand is a slightly weaker alternative to the Beam Sword that can autoswing and pierce one enemy with its projectile.
 * The Beam Sword sword is very similar to the Enchanted Sword, in appearance and in effect.
 * Though it is statistically a direct upgrade to the Enchanted Sword, it does not autoswing.
