It's funny because I came to this page to compare it to Night's Edge (I have both, and both are Legendary). Night's Edge is larger, so it hits from significantly further away (almost twice as far, I think). Also it lights up, making it much better as a melee weapon for cave exploration, and it doesn't force you to moonwalk, which is really bad when facing enemies from both directions, like a Goblin Army.

The good thing about Falcon Blade, as of 1.3, is that it deals 30 base damage and auto-swings. It becomes really useful, even against the Goblin Army, as long as you're quick-handed enough to change directions. You can literally shred through enemies, but because you have to be so close to them, it is bad against most bosses. It works well versus the brain of cthulu though, but really everything works against the brain of cthulu. Such an easy boss monster.
