The True Night's Edge is a Hardmode sword that is a stronger version of the Night's Edge, doing more damage and firing a projectile when swung. It is one of the ingredients necessary to craft the Terra Blade. The True Night's Edge is capable of autoswing.

The sword itself has a large aura of dark energy around the blade when swung, which significantly increases the range at which the weapon can deal damage to enemies, including coverage behind the player. Each time the sword swings, a projectile resembling a spinning disc of energy will be fired. The projectile will move relative to the player, staying on the same course on the screen as the player moves. The projectile deals 50% base damage (35 base damage), and strikes up to 3 times. The projectile applies 10 ticks of immunity frames on the target it hits, and is possible to hit the same target for multiple times (e.g. if the target is large enough for the projectiles to still stay on it after 10 ticks). If the blade or its aura strikes an enemy, a purple flash is created. If its projectile strikes an enemy, a green flash is created.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Notes

Animation of the True Night's Edge. Notice its circular projectile striking 3 times.

Although previously compared due to their similarities and being obtained in the same place in progression, changes in 1.4.4 have made the True Night's Edge and True Excalibur much more distinct weapons.
