The Light's Bane attacking a Target Dummy. Note the damage differences between small and large slashes.

The Light's Bane is a pre-Hardmode sword. When swung, it creates a dark slash near the tip of the sword. The slashes deal 50% of the weapon's damage (8 base damage),[1] have 5 armor penetration,[2] pierce once, and will automatically target enemies within a radius of 3.125 tiles.[1] The weapon also has a chance to create a big slash that deals 100% of the weapon's damage. The chance of big slashes occurring is equal to the player's melee critical strike chance.[1]

It is the Corruption counterpart to The Crimson's Blood Butcherer. The Light's Bane is faster than the Blood Butcherer, but has a lower size and base damage.

Its best modifier is Legendary.
