Melee weapons

They are categorized into swords, spears, flails, boomerangs, and yoyos.[1] There are 195 melee weapons in total.[1] Weapons that deal melee damage and use no ammunition or mana are classified as melee weapons.[1] Pickaxes, axes, and hammers deal melee damage but are typically less powerful than melee weapons of a comparable tier.[1]

Yoyos

Yoyos include the Wooden Yoyo (9 damage) and the Terrarian (190 damage, dropped by the Moon Lord).[2][3]

Spears

Spears include the Spear (8 damage) and the North Pole (80 damage, shoots an icy projectile).[4][5]

Boomerangs

Boomerangs include the Wooden Boomerang (10 damage) and the Possessed Hatchet (80 damage, homes in on enemies).[6][7]

Flails

Flails include the Chain Knife (12 damage) and the Flairon (132 damage, releases homing bubble projectiles).[8][9]

Armor

Molten armor provides a 7% boost to melee damage, melee critical hit chance, and melee speed.[10]

Accessories

Accessories like the Warrior Emblem (+15% melee damage) and the Feral Claws (+12% melee speed, enables autoswing) also boost melee weapons.[11]
