Best Ore Spears in Terraria (2023)

Matt

Ore Spears are long-range melee weapons crafted using various ores found throughout the world and allow players to strike enemies from a distance and in a stabbing motion. They typically have longer reach than swords, making them useful for keeping enemies at bay at the expense of being susceptible to attacks from behind.

All Hardmode Spears lack autoswing but possess the ability to penetrate multiple enemies when wielded at an ideal range. When a player wields a melee weapon, all Flask items will infuse their unique effects.
