The Blade of the Throne is a melee-type weapon that can be bought from Vhitmire's Mystery Traveling Store or Linkman the Junkman. It can also be obtained by opening the Grand Treasure Chest. This sword is unique in that it is the only weapon in the game that can transition itself from a melee-type weapon to a magic-type Weapon via its special ability, Caster Form.
Appearance
In appearance, it appears to be a greatsword which emits a cyan glow and has a dark-blue blade. In Caster Form, the hilt gains a long dark-blue handle as if it becoming a staff from which it is held by. The blade does not emit it's glow in Caster Form.
In melee form, it is most similar to scimitars in terms of its stamina use, speed, and range, being exceptionally fast and agile. This is very different when compared to other expensive melee weapons, as they are usually heavy and sluggish in movement. As it has the same base damage as most swords in it's price range, it would be considered to be the one of the most efficient melee weapons when considering its DPS (damage per second). It cosumes 2-3 stamina per swing.
In Castr Form, the sword fires a narrow vertical projectile that is able to phase through any object, damaging any enemy it passes through. This projectile despawns after a certain amount of time rather than range. This ability makes it unique to any type of weapon in the game, as it is the only weapon that is able to damage units behind walls, terrain, or even other monsters. This ability is most efficient where there is a crowd of enemies, allowing for one projectile to damage more than one unit. Consumes 3-4 stamina per swing.
Trivia
- The Caster Form of this weapon allows it to make some dungeon floors a breeze, such as Floor 42, where it spawns up to 13 mobs at once, allowing this weapon to reach its maximum potential.
- When a server is extremely laggy, the caster form projectiles slow down, or even stop completely. It is still able to deal damage to enemies, however, this makes the projectiles unable to reach distant mobs.
- Before the Fishing Update, the melee and caster form both dealt the same amount of damage, making the stats incorrect.
- The Blade of the Throne shares many similar qualities to that of the Moonlight Greatsword , from the Souls Series, perhaps being a nod to FromSoftware's iconic greatsword.
