Using a Blue Phaseblade to attack Target Dummies and a Blood Zombie by embedding.

Phaseblades are a group of pre-Hardmode broadswords. There are nine different color variations with identical statistics. All phaseblades emit a small amount of light when swung. Letting go of ⚒ Use / Attack while swinging will throw the weapons, causing them to sharply drop down after travelling for 0.5 seconds[1] or upon contact with blocks, then embed themselves in the ground and continuously damage any enemy that touches them. They can be recalled by pressing ⚒ Use / Attack again, which will damage enemies along the way. They can also be recalled mid-throw.

Phasesabers are the Hardmode upgrades of the phaseblades.

Their best modifier is Legendary.

Notes

  • Thrown Phaseblades deal 125% of the weapon's damage and knockback while midair, and 75% of its damage and knockback while resting on ground.[2]
  • Thrown Phaseblades inflict 10 ticks[3] of local invincibility frames upon hit, meaning they can hit for up to 6 times per second.[4]
  • After being embedded, the sword will be automatically recalled after 1 minute.
  • Only one throwable sword can be embedded in the ground at a time. Using a different throwable sword will cause the previously embedded sword to be recalled.

Tips

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

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.
  • Phaseblades can be considered the Meteorite-tier ore swords.
