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 crafted from Demonite Bars. It creates a short-lived slash of darkness near the tip of the sword each time it is swung. The slashes have 5 armor penetration,[1] pierce once and will automatically target enemies within a radius of 3.125 tiles. There are two types of slashes: default small slashes, and random big slashes. Small slashes deal 50% base damage (8 base damage), while big slashes deal 100% base damage (16 base damage). The chance of big slashes occurring is equal to the player's melee critical strike chance.[2]
The Light's Bane's Crimson counterpart is the Blood Butcherer, which is stronger and larger but also much slower, and it is one of the key ingredients in crafting the Night's Edge.
Its best modifier is Legendary.
