Adamantite Sword vs Breaker Blade
The verdict
With crit factored in, Adamantite Sword puts out 181.3 DPS against 124.8 for Breaker Blade — about 45% more damage per second. Base hits are Adamantite Sword 61 vs Breaker Blade 70, so the gap comes as much from attack speed and crit as from raw damage.
Adamantite Sword swings faster at a 21-tick use time versus 35, so it lands on-hit debuffs like ichor, procs set bonuses, and reapplies knockback more often — an edge the flat DPS figure understates.
For crowd control, Breaker Blade hits with more knockback (8 vs 6), keeping enemies at range while you reposition.
Both are Melee weapons, so the same armor set and class accessories buff either one — you can swap between them without rebuilding your loadout.
