The True Excalibur attacking Target Dummies.

The True Excalibur is a Hardmode sword that is a direct upgrade to the Excalibur. The True Excalibur is one of the ingredients necessary to craft the Terra Blade.

It fires a glowing pink sword projectile called "Light Beam" in the direction of the cursor every 0.48 seconds on average. Because this ability has a short cooldown, not every swing of the sword launches a Light Beam. The Light Beam travels in a straight line until it impacts a tile or enemy.

Unlike the Excalibur, the True Excalibur is not capable of autoswing.

Notes

Due to their similar properties and counterpart characteristics, the True Excalibur can be compared to the True Night's Edge:
- The True Night's Edge does 30% more damage, but is only 50% as fast. The Light Beam, the glowing sword projectile fired by the True Excalibur, can go through one block-wide gaps, both horizontally and vertically, while the Night Beam can pass through solid one block-thick walls if standing directly adjacent. It cannot be fired vertically through ceilings or floors.
- Because it spins, the Night Beam effectively hits more enemies than the Light Beam. However, the Light Beam can be launched more often and moves at a faster speed.
- The True Excalibur has a 13.33% lower DPS as it may swing faster but has less damage than the True Night's Edge. Note that DPS is merely a rough estimate and far from being a reliable stat for comparison.
