Night's Edge

The Night's Edge is a high-end Broadsword melee weapon. It has an average attack speed, deals 42 damage, and has about the same reach as a Muramasa. 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. Crafting this sword requires sacrificing a Light's Bane, a Muramasa, a Blade of Grass, and a Fiery Greatsword at a Demon Altar.

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.

Before 1.1 it was the strongest sword in the game. With said update, this rank was taken by Excalibur. Despite this, it's still the strongest sword pre-Hardmode.

The Swords Contributed to make the sword (like Excalibur)are shown. The Night's Egde has the Blade of Grass' Speed (Average), the Muramusa's Shape (The Curve at the tip of the sword), the Fiery Greatsword's Size, and the Light's Bane Power (Darkness)

Trivia

The Night's Edge can outdamage both a Cobalt and a Mythril sword.
