The Terraprisma is a Hardmode, post-Plantera summon weapon. It spawns a copy of itself that rapidly attacks nearby enemies. It is a guaranteed drop from the Empress of Light when all damage dealt to the Empress occurs during the day.

It is thought to be one of the hardest summon weapons to acquire in the game, as the Empress of Light will one shot the player with any attack during the day, but is also one of the best summons in the game due its unique and powerful attacks.

Its best modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stat bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits. The only lasting advantage a Mythical Terraprisma has over a Ruthless one is knockback.

Notes[]

• When summoned, the sword will be spawned at the cursor, but will instantly teleport behind the player. It will also hover behind the player when idle. If more than one sword is summoned, they will arrange themselves in a wing-like configuration.
• The Terraprisma's attack pattern consists of an extremely quick stab, before constantly attacking with a spinning motion similar to the Zenith until the target is dead. This pattern will repeat each time the sword changes targets.
• Terraprisma's minion have custom immunity frames, allowing them to hit more often than other piercing attacks.
• Unlike most minions, the sword will immediately return to the user's side, preventing it from getting stuck behind blocks and blocking its field of vision.
• The Terraprisma swords will not move/attack through blocks by default, but if they attack an enemy in direct line of sight, they will then continue to attack any other nearby enemies, ignoring blocks, before returning to the player.
• The minions leave a rainbow trail while moving.
• If dyed with Critter Shampoo, most basic and gradient dyes will have little effect on the sword's colors due to its bright coloration. Bright dyes will work properly as they override the sword's color completely.

Tips[]

• Like the Blade Staff and Sanguine Staff, the Terraprisma's precise movement, tracking, and fixed idle position make it an ideal choice for assisting the player with faster bosses and for crowd control.
• If the player's back is against a wall, door, or other solid block, the Terraprisma will phase through the solid block, attacking any enemies within range.
• It is the best summon weapon in Terraria in terms of DPS. A disadvantage, however, is its short range.
• Because the Terraprisma does not move through blocks, while arguably the best/highest damage summon weapon available, some players might opt for minions that ignore blocks altogether, such as Xeno Staff's UFO's. This is especially useful when AFK farming; specifically in the Dungeon, as enemies will often teleport in and attack through blocks.

Trivia[]

• Although its sprite appears to be a sword, it is actually a summon weapon. This is similar to other sword lookalikes such as the Sky Fracture, which is actually a magic weapon, and the Durendal, which is actually a whip.
• Like the Eventide, the Terraprisma seems to be based off of the Empress of Light's Ethereal Lance.
• Being themed around light, the Terraprisma has colors similar to those of fractured rays of light sent through a prism. Hence the "prisma" in the item's name.
• Despite the tooltip, the summoned minions look nothing like the Enchanted Sword item or the Enchanted Sword enemy.
• The Terraprisma has the highest base damage of all minion-summoning weapons despite being obtainable pre-Golem and only having a rarity of . This is most likely due to the high difficulty of fighting the Empress of Light during the day.
• The Terraprisma and Abigail's Flower are the only minion-summoning weapons that do not have the word staff in their name.
• When multiple minions are summoned, their pattern forms a helix. This is only visible with very large numbers of minions.
• Like the Last Prism, the Terraprisma has secret color themes for developers and beta testers. This is triggered by using a specific set of character names:
