Projectile melee weapons are melee weapons that fire projectiles at no mana or ammunition cost. These tend to do more damage than the weapons themselves, although they often cannot fire quite as frequently as the weapon can be swung.

Notes[]
- The projectile swords with a cooldown display the graphics and play the sound for restoring mana , although none of them actually use mana.
- The visual effects caused by the Blood Moon event affect the color of the projectile. For example, the normally green projectile from the Terra Blade is a golden color.
