The Falcon Blade attacking a Target Dummy. Note its small range.

The Falcon Blade is a pre-Hardmode broadsword that can be found in an Iron or Mythril Crate. It has a very short range, yet high attack speed and decent knockback, which makes it useful until late pre-Hardmode. On the Desktop version, Console version, and Mobile version, the Falcon Blade is capable of autoswing.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Tips

With sufficient fishing preparations and some patience, the Falcon Blade can be obtained very early on. It surpasses even the Light's Bane/Blood Butcherer in damage.

The Falcon Blade is a crossover item also found in the indie side-scrolling real-time strategy video game Pixel Piracy.
It can almost be considered a pre-Hardmode Cutlass, sharing many of the same features, pros, and cons, as well as the similar designs.
The Falcon Blade has a design that resembles a falchion, a one-handed, single-edged sword of medieval European origin.
- In addition to this, the words falchion and falcon bear a close resemblance to each other.
