The Iron Realm Sword is a craftable Pre-Hardmode sword. When used, it performs a wide slash at the cursor that can destroy hostile Ice projectiles and will stop dealing damage after 4 hits. Holding the attack button will continuously perform a two-swing combo. Striking enemies four times while the attack button is held will cause the next swing to be replaced with a spinning slash that deals double damage, increases pierce by 12, and creates an Arctic Wind aura that inflicts the Pure Chill debuff.
As with all Pure-Iron weapons, the Iron Realm Sword has a guaranteed chance to inflict the Pure Chill debuff when a full set of Iron Realm armor is equipped. This bonus only applies to the swing, with the Arctic Wind being unaffected by it.
Its best modifier is Godly.
