Animation of the True Night's Edge.

The True Night's Edge is a Hardmode sword, and is one of the ingredients necessary to craft the Terra Blade. It fires a large glowing blade projectile, similar in appearance to the Night's Edge. The large glowing projectile fired from the True Night's Edge deals 76 damage and 108 damage from critical hits.

Its projectile can pass through one block-thick barriers if standing directly adjacent, but can't pass vertically through ceilings or floors. Unlike most beam swords, it fires a spinning projectile, instead of a straight one.

Like the True Excalibur, the True Night's Edge doesn't auto-swing.

Its best Modifier is Legendary.

Notes

  • Compared to the True Excalibur, it does 27% more damage, but is only 65% as fast. The glowing sword fired by the True Excalibur can go through one block-wide gaps, both horizontally and vertically, while the True Night's Edge fired glowing sword can pass through solid one block-thick walls if standing directly adjacent. It can't be fired vertically through ceilings or floors.
  • The True Excalibur fires a smaller beam of light, making it less likely to hit your target, but if up close it has a higher DPS as it may do less damage but it has more speed. However, the True Excalibur makes up for this with its ability to effectively "spam" light beams.
  • The beam fired from the True Night's Edge is slower than that of the Terra Blade however, as stated above it has a higher chance to hit the target.
  • The True Night's Edge's beams are referred as "Night Beams" in death messages.

Trivia

  • If you look close enough to the projectile, it seems to resemble a regular Night's Edge colored green, rather than a True Night's Edge.
