I am disapoint with you, Terra Blade.

[TheLastGiganto]

I spent hours upon hours waiting for a solar eclipse to happen so i could get broken hero swords so i could make the Terra Blade. After 15 or so hours of waiting, mindlessly digging and building, I got my Solar Eclipses and eventually the Terra Blade, and with my newly crafted "best" weapon, i went and killed the Golem in the Lihzard place (about 27 times, in case you're wondering.) After about 6 or 7 Golems, I got a Possessed Hatchet, and without a modifier, it was better then my (i think it was) Ruthless Terra Blade. Now I don't know about you, but I think the "best" weapon and arguably one of the hardest (new) weapons to make, should at least have the advantage of having the highest Melee damage, and not fall short to some magic axe.

Anyway, done ranting, I am curious as to see what you guys think though. A lot of you know more about the game then I do, so maybe im just doing something wrong?

golem fist was like that for me then i got vampire knifes and everything changed

[TheLastGiganto]

Golem fist, to me, was just a seriously OP KO Gun to me, and i didnt really like the KO gun (if thats not the name im sorry, I just remember KO was in the name) Dont know much about the Vampire Knives, i have the worst luck when it comes to getting any type of key.

I like the Terra Blade so guess it just suites my play style is all *shrugs* I think if the weapon was an auto-swinger that it would appear to more players.

Well It surly is useful for long ranged melee. In other terms though the Horsemans's Sword can make a huge rain of pumpkins on your screen while the sword it self is a auto-swing weapon. That in my opinion makes it better. I dont use melee much besides the vampire knives much any who.

[BBC2SNIPER1]

vampire knifes is golem fist with healing with double the damage

[TDWarrior]

Honestly the new halloween sword (Headless Horseman's Blade is what its called I think) is my favorite sword and much better then the Terra Blade IMO, its regular swings arent what makes it good, its the homing explosive(?) pumpkins.

Ah see, me and a friend just started fresh characters and a fresh world for the halloween update, so I havent got to see all the new stuff yet because weve been playing other games.
How do you get the Headless Horseman's Blade? is it just a chance drop from the goodie bags?

Its a drop from the pumpkin king during the pumpkin moon, warning though, its a REALLY hard event, impossible to get far into it without heal on hit items

It doesnt even bother me that much that the weapon isnt an autoswing, its just the fact that the only thing that the sword has going for it is its magic sword that gets shot out, and i mean both the True weapons (excalibur and Nights Edge) did that as well, so its not really as "unique" i guess

I'm not sure about Excalibur, but the Terra Blade's magic shot penetrates enemies. Which makes it 100x more useful.

Hmm ok thanks, ill have my buddy switch to his Spectre armor and ill try to get my hands on some vampire daggers =P my luck with getting keys is just aweful. I must have spent 10 hours killing things in the crimson and got no crimson key out of it, just a ♥♥♥♥ load of vertebrae. xD

It really bugs me that it doesn't have autoswing. I don't even see why it couldn't have it? Doesn't make sense. The sword-projectile has a cooldown time anyway, so it wouldn't break that.

Oh, you know what i forgot it penetrates enemies as well. I haven't used my terra blade (almost) since i made it and shortly thereafter got the possessed hatchet. I guess that makes the terra blade a bit more useful against certain bosses and invasions

I feel as though they didnt give it an autoswing because of the magic shot it has. Now i didnt spend ANY time with the true excalibur, so i dont know what goes on with that sword, is it still an autoswing, even with its magic attack?

[Emmote]

I don't know. The first eclipse I got gave me 3 Hero swords, I never even used the True Night's Edge or True Excalibur.

But regardless, the magic sword projectile has an internal cooldown. It often only goes off every 3rd or 4th swing currently. It just feels like a deliberate way of giving us RSI.
