The Aegis Blade's left and right-click attacks.

The Aegis Blade is a Hardmode broadsword that is dropped by Golem. When used with its primary fire (left-click), it will swing and deal contact damage in a regular manner. Upon striking an enemy, a medium-sized stationary flame explosion is produced, capable of damaging the target 6 more times, each dealing 5% less damage, before dissipating. When used with its secondary fire (right-click), the broadsword itself will not deal damage but will instead shoot a fireball that deals 85% of the weapon's damage. The fireball explodes into 3 flaming sparks on contact with a tile or enemy, dealing 75% of the fireball's damage. The sparks do not pierce and can linger on the ground for 2 seconds before disappearing. If a spark hits an enemy, it spawns a small flame explosion that deals 75% of the spark's damage.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Notes

  • Only the left-click attack receives true melee boosts.

Trivia

  • Aegis is the name of Athena's and Zeus' shield from Greek mythology.
