Weapons

Delve adds many new weapons to Terraria, some with unique mechanics.

Melee Weapons[ | ]

Swords[ | ]

Swords are melee weapons which can be divided into 2 basic categories: shortswords and broadswords. Shortswords have very limited range, and they attack with a horizontal stabbing motion instead of an arc.
