The Grand Dad was a post-Moon Lord broadsword that was dropped by the Moon Lord in Malice Mode. Whenever it contacted a non-boss enemy, their defense was reduced to zero and their knockback resistance was set to -600%. It also had an exceptionally high knockback stat and size.

Its best modifier was Legendary.

Notes

• Grand Dad dealt 75% of its original damage on Polterghast and Signus, Envoy of the Devourer.
• The Grand Dad's knockback resistance removal could affect enemies that are immune to knockback.
• The defense and knockback resistance removal did not affect enemies with no contact damage or most event minibosses.

Tips

• The knockback made this weapon a good tool to keep an enemy with high health away.

Trivia

• Its name and tooltip, as well as the "7" on its sprite (and the 777 base damage and 77 knockback), were a reference to a meme known as "7 GRAND DAD," a Chinese bootleg copy of The Flintstones: The Rescue of Dino & Hoppy for the Famicom system and popularized by Vargskelethor a.k.a Joel from Vinesauce, and SiIvagunner.
• The word "Yeet", which is present in the tooltip, is internet slang that means "to throw at high velocity".
