Keybrand vs Terrarian
The verdict
With crit factored in, Terrarian puts out 501.6 DPS against 365.4 for Keybrand — about 37% more damage per second. Base hits are Keybrand 105 vs Terrarian 190, so the gap comes as much from attack speed and crit as from raw damage.
Keybrand swings faster at a 20-tick use time versus 25, so it lands on-hit debuffs like ichor, procs set bonuses, and reapplies knockback more often — an edge the flat DPS figure understates.
Keybrand also carries the higher base crit chance (16% vs 10%), which scales further with crit-boosting armor and accessories.
Both are Melee weapons, so the same armor set and class accessories buff either one — you can swap between them without rebuilding your loadout.
