The following is a list of all swords displayed in the Zenith's attack animation:.In the 1.4.0.3 hotfix, the Bee Keeper was added to the crafting recipe for the Zenith, after being in its animation since the release in 1.4.0.1. The Zenith's projectiles include the Terragrim, despite not being in its crafting tree.The Zenith projectiles will always include both the Light's Bane and Blood Butcherer, no matter which one was used.The precursor design of the Zenith exists as an unobtainable weapon, the First Fractal, which resembles an upgraded Terra Blade. Before the release of 1.4, the sword had various placeholders and scrapped names, including Final Fractal and Summit.This is a reference to the fact that the Zenith is often considered the final and best weapon in the game. Zenith is a word defined as 'the time/point at which something is at its most strength or successful'.Terragrim seen in the Zenith's attack animation. The Zenith is generally agreed to be the game's strongest weapon, making it ideal for any type of fight.The Zenith can defeat the Moon Lord on Master Mode (277,311 combined HP) in about 11 seconds.In a regular combat situation, most players will see the Zenith dealing around 20,000 to 30,000 DPS.In an optimized environment, The Zenith can do more than 7,000,000 DPS.Against segmented worm enemies like The Destroyer, it can even surpass 1,000,000 DPS.

The Zenith has the potential to reach more than 70,000 DPS on a single target with the right armor, accessories, modifiers, buffs and correct positioning.The Zenith passing 7,000,000 DPS against multiple targets The Zenith passing 1,000,000 DPS against The Destroyer. The Zenith maxing out at around 70,000 DPS against a single target. However, the Zenith will in turn lose the ability to home in on enemies since the Zenith itself never homes in because it is always thrown first. With high enough attack speed, it is possible for only the Zenith itself to appear. Thus, a higher attack speed will cause less swords besides the Zenith to appear, and lower attack speed will cause more to appear. Increasing attack speed does not increase the speed at which the Zenith fires swords, only the time between each three-sword cycle.If the player has made a Journey Mode character or has lost their Copper Shortsword, and has no Copper Ore in the world, Copper can be obtained by Fishing, using an Extractinator, killing Slimes, going to another world with copper, or simply making a new character and placing the Shortsword into a chest (However, this will not work for Journey Mode as the character would spawn with an Iron Shortsword).This is especially useful in the Mobile version, for players who are keen on using Aim and Use, as such toggle restricts the Zenith's range considerably.When the sword is dragged near an enemy, but not enough for the natural arch to reach it, one sword sprite will come out of the loop and hit the enemy. The Zenith appears to have semi-homing capabilities.This is presumably due to the Copper Shortsword's role as the very first sword every player will encounter (with the exception of Journey Mode characters). Despite being nearly identical to its copper counterpart, the Tin Shortsword cannot be used to craft the Zenith.Swords also deal damage behind the player on their return trip.Each individual sword sprite may register multiple hits on an enemy, depending on size and positioning.Equipment and modifiers that increase melee speed change the number of swords that appear per use, but have no effect on the number of swords thrown per second, nor the swords' velocity.This is no longer true in 1.4.1, as Zenith can only go up to 600 pixels vertically and 960 pixels horizontally.Its range can be increased simply by using higher resolutions, larger monitors, or even multiple monitors. The Zenith can attack anywhere that the cursor can reach.The Zenith ignores enemy invincibility frames.This can be used to reveal parts of the minimap. Each sword generated will have a unique swing color, which generates a large amount of light. The first sword generated on each swing will always be a Zenith projectile, which generates a mint green trail.
