Using the Flying Dragon to attack Target Dummies. Notice how the projectile pierces walls and four dummies, dissipating upon hitting the fifth.

The Flying Dragon is a Hardmode, post-Golem projectile sword that fires bright red, crescent-shaped Hearty Slash projectiles once per swing, which travels through solid blocks and produces light. The Hearty Slash projectiles can pierce up to four enemies and dissipate after hitting a fifth. The Flying Dragon has a 1/4 (25%) chance of being dropped by Betsy during Tier 3 of the Old One's Army event.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Notes

• The blade's hitbox extends considerably beyond the blade sprite itself, barely beating out the Breaker Blade in horizontal range by about a pixel, but losing quite a bit in vertical range.

Tips

• Due to its light-emitting, wall-piercing beams, this sword is useful for exploring and finding caves, behaving as an upgrade to the Death Sickle and other weapons in this regard.
• Aiming is slightly easier due to how wide the projectiles are, combining that with high melee speed, one can decimate multi-segment bosses such as the Destroyer easily.
• It can be very useful for events due to its powerful attacks, projectiles, and crowd-controlling capabilities.
• The Flying Dragon's Hearty Slash is one of the most dangerous projectiles a Selenian can reflect, easily one-shotting characters even at full health.

Trivia

• Like the other Old One's Army weapons, the Flying Dragon is a direct reference to the weapon of the same name in Dungeon Defenders 2, due to its implementation as part of a crossover event.
• The Flying Dragon is one of the largest swords in the game, beaten only by the Breaker Blade.
