Terraria (Wiki): Platinum Broadsword

The Platinum Broadsword is an early-game metal broadsword that performs a short-ranged swinging motion in an arc, damaging enemies behind and in front of the player. It is the alternate ore version of the Gold Broadsword.

One enemy can be pierced at a normal range, although an infinite amount is possible should they line up. The Platinum Broadsword also has a short reach of three tiles radius. It is incapable of autoswing.

Some weapons emit light while also being capable of inflicting damage against enemies behind a cover, but the Platinum Broadsword is not included.

When compared to other weapons, the Platinum Broadsword offers a faster attack speed at the expense of less damage dealt. Additionally, it can even surpass the War Axe of the Night.

Of all Broadswords, the Platinum Broadsword is one of three variants with the strongest knockback potential. It also possesses the fastest cooldown usage.

Since the Platinum Broadsword can swing above the player, it is viable for flying and jumping enemies. The resulting damage can also be enhanced by consuming any Flask type.
