The True Excalibur attacking Target Dummies.
The True Excalibur is a Hardmode sword that is a direct upgrade to the Excalibur. It is one of the ingredients necessary to craft the Terra Blade.
The True Excalibur possesses a stronger version of the Excalibur's effect, adding an additional pink aura past the existing yellow aura from its predecessor, which both follow along the sword's swing arc to increase its effective range. However, unlike most broadswords that hit all enemies within melee range, the True Excalibur's melee swing can only hit up to six targets. When striking enemies, a bright pink and yellow flash is created.
Its best modifier is Legendary.

Notes
- The True Excalibur will always knock enemies away from the player, regardless of the direction it is swung.
Tips
- Due to the large arc of the True Excalibur's attack, it makes for a great melee weapon against Plantera, as it can easily dispose of Plantera's Tentacles.
Trivia
- Although the True Excalibur and True Night's Edge were previously comparable due to their similarities and being obtained in the same place in progression, changes in 1.4.4 have made them much more distinct weapons.
