Terraria (Wiki): Tin Broadsword
Everything you need to know
General Information
The Tin Broadsword is an ore-based broadsword that deals damage to enemies. It is the second least effective broadsword.
The Tin Broadsword, like other broadswords, has limited range and moves in an arc motion. Combat-wise, the Tin Broadsword, despite being one of the weakest broadswords is effective against fighter-type enemies such as monsters, slimes, jumping zombies, and flying enemies because of its knockback and damage output.
The Tin Broadsword is best modified with Legendary to improve all stats.
