The Asthenos is a craftable Hardmode broadsword. A convective upgrade of the Fiery Greatsword, holding the button will cause the player to hold it over their head as it slowly charges up, swinging when released. The weapon's size, damage, and the length of Incinerating it inflicts are all dependent on charge length, and at high charges it is by far the largest true melee weapon among vanilla Terraria and Polarities content.

Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both increase the average damage output equally.
