Use

The True Night's Edge is a Hardmode, post-mechanical boss sword and the direct upgrade to the Night's Edge. When swung, a circular purple aura follows the swing, reaching farther than the sword itself. The aura can hit up to two enemies. The sword will also fire a spinning green blade that deals 50% of the weapon's damage (35 base damage)[1] and can strike up to 3 times. The projectile will move relative to the player.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

The True Night's Edge in use. Notice its circular projectile striking three times.

Notes

  • The spinning projectile applies 10 ticks[2] of immunity frames on the targets it hits, but can still hit a target multiple times (if the target is large enough for the projectiles to stay on it after 10 ticks).[3]
  • If the aura hits an enemy, a purple flash is created; if the projectile hits an enemy, a green flash is created.
