Night's Edge

The Night's Edge is a high-end melee weapon, crafted at a Demon Altar. Crafting this sword requires you to consume a Light's Bane, a Muramasa, a Blade of Grass, and a Fiery Greatsword. When swung, the Night's Edge emits light similar to the Fiery Greatsword, but the effect is more subtle and does not last as long.

It has a very slow attack speed, deals 40 damage, and has about the same reach as a Muramasa. It can be a devastating weapon, as it deals about 72 damage per second. However, due to its low attack speed, enemies don't fall quite as quickly as they would if using the Muramasa. Using Feral Claws with Night's Edge will improve the rate of damage. Using Molten Armor in place of Shadow Armor will increase it's damage by roughly 5 points on low-armor monsters, while gaining slightly less on others.

The Night's Edge is useful against airborne enemies that are difficult to hit with faster swings, although it is not a substitute for a ranged weapon. It is also strong against heavily armored enemies relative to other melee weapons.

Putting any of the above four weapons in the Guide's "Crafting" option will reveal the full recipe and Demon Altar requirement.
