Roxcalibur is a craftable Hardmode broadsword that can also be found in Pre-Hardmode, though the sword cannot be swung until the Wall of Flesh is defeated.

When used, the sword is charged up and held over the player's head. Releasing will cause one of two attacks to occur depending on the position of the mouse.

If the mouse is located in the top half of the screen, the sword is swung forward, releasing rock shards as it is swung. This swing can deal up to 250% of the weapon's damage depending on how long it is charged up for. If the mouse is instead in the bottom half of the screen, the player slam downwards with the sword. Hitting an enemy with the slam will deal damage and cause the player to rebound upwards. This slam can deal up to 350% of the weapon's damage depending on how long it is charged up for.

It can be found naturally in the world, in a random location within the Underground or Cavern layers and can be harvested with any pickaxe. Only one Roxcalibur can be generated per world.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Trivia

  • This weapon's functionality was coded by the dedicatee, Javyz.
  • During the generation of the Roxcalibur in world creation, the message reads "I wanna rock.". This is a reference to the 1984 heavy metal song of the same name by the band Twisted Sister.
