Broken Hero Sword

The Broken Hero Sword is a Hardmode crafting material. It is not itself a weapon, and cannot be swung, reforged, or placed on a Weapon Rack. The Broken Hero Sword has a 1 in 250 chance (0.4%) of being dropped by Frankenstein or a Swamp Thing during the Solar Eclipse event.

Tips

 * Given the drop rate, and that three Broken Hero Swords are needed to craft the Terra Blade, it can be a good idea to use Water Candles and/or Battle Potions during a Solar Eclipse, to increase the chances that multiples will drop.

Trivia

 * This item is an allusion to the classic literary trope of the disgraced or defeated hero who must repair their sword, or the similar trope of taking up the weapon of a past hero (perhaps killed by the monster dropping this item) to fulfill a destiny.
