Probably not. I recommend a better weapon most of all (Dao of Pow, Crystal Storm, Cursed Flames, Adamantite Sword, Adamantite Repeater etc. all decent options). Night's Edge has decent damage but it's just so slow that it's dps isn't that great for hard mode. Also, a Cross Necklace and more defense could be helpful (reforge accessories for +def bonuses, ironskin potion).

One thing I don't like about Dao of Pow though is that it makes collecting hearts from the probes more difficult (the confused debuff makes them run away). If you really need those probes' hearts for healing, which is likely, I recommend a ranged weapon instead.
