Animation of the Night's Edge.

The Night's Edge is a pre-Hardmode, post-Skeletron broadsword. When swung, a circular purple aura follows the swing, reaching slightly farther than the sword itself. Another aura swings around in front, further increasing range. The auras can hit up to two enemies, but the same enemy cannot be hit by both auras.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Notes

  • The auras can break Pots, but not damage enemies, through blocks.

Tips

  • The sword's high damage and generous hitbox make it the single best melee option for the Wall of Flesh. The sword can often reach two of the Wall's segments at once, and easily keeps all the Hungries at bay.
  • In a drunk world, a Locked Gold Chest is almost always generated above the level at which Dungeon Guardians spawn, and it will always contain a Muramasa. Therefore, it is possible to obtain the Night's Edge before defeating Skeletron.
    • Although Dungeon enemies do not drop loot before defeating Skeletron in Get fixed boi worlds, it is still possible to scout the Dungeon from the outside for a normal Chest or Pot generated inside, then break in using a Molten Pickaxe and obtain a Golden Key from it.

Trivia

  • Prior to the 1.1 update, the Night's Edge was the strongest sword in the game. It is now the strongest pre-Hardmode sword.
  • The four swords used to craft it all represent a major difficult pre-Hardmode biome: The Blade of Grass represents the Jungle, the Muramasa the Dungeon, the Volcano The Underworld, and the Light's Bane/Blood Butcherer the evil biomes.
  • The sword's particles also contain all of the ones from the swords it is made from: Muramasa (upright cross), Volcano (diagonal cross), Blade of Grass (small bubbles), and Light's Bane/Blood Butcherer (large bubbles).
  • The Night's Edge is available as a real-life toy, produced by Jazwares.[1]
  • The Night's Edge appears in Dungeon Defenders 2 as the Phantom Edge.
