Not to be confused with the pre-Hardmode Phaseblades, which are used to craft Phasesabers.

The light emitted by all seven colors of Phasesaber.

Using a Blue Phasesaber to attack a Target Dummy.

A Phasesaber is a (Desktop, Console, Old-gen console and Mobile versions) Hardmode / (3DS version) pre-Hardmode broadsword which is a direct upgrade to the pre-Hardmode Phaseblade. It is very similar to its predecessor, except dealing about twice as much damage, being capable of autoswing, and having slightly modified visuals. As with Phaseblades, there are (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) seven / (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) six different color variations with identical statistics, with the color determined by the color of the Phaseblade used to craft it. All Phasesabers emit a small amount of light when swung.

Because Arch Demons(Old-gen console and 3DS versions) drop Crystal Shards on the Nintendo 3DS version and only a pre-Hardmode Anvil is required for crafting it, the Phasesaber is available pre-Hardmode on this version.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Tips

• The different colors can be used to differentiate teams in PvP games.

Trivia

• Both the weapon's visual appearance and its sound effect bear a striking resemblance to the fictional energy sword lightsaber featured in the American epic space-opera media franchise Star Wars. This reference is further reinforced by the requirement of crystals and gems in the crafting of Phaseblades and Phasesabers, alluding to the colored kyber crystals which are used in the construction of lightsabers.
• The sprites for Phasesabers are visibly brighter than Phaseblades.
• In order to fix a bug where Phasesabers placed on Weapon Racks would be unbreakable, the developers remade all Phasesabers into new items (IDs 3764 through 3769), ones presumably that are impervious to the bug. Therefore, the "old" Phasesabers that had negative IDs (IDs -19 through -24) are no longer obtainable; instead, a new one is received. This is most likely the reason the fix is not retroactive yet.
