Tips

• Despite being considered an upgrade, the Night's Edge has a few downsides compared to its components:
  • It is smaller than both the Fiery Greatsword and Blade of Grass;
  • It has a lower knockback than the Fiery Greatsword, Light's Bane, and Blood Butcherer;
  • It does not autoswing, unlike the Muramasa;
  • It is slower than the Muramasa and Light's Bane.
  • It lacks on-hit debuffs, such as the Blade of Grass's Poisoned and the Fiery Greatsword's On Fire!.
    • Note that this can be made up for with the Flask of Poison and Magma Stone, respectively.

Trivia

• Before the 1.1 update, the Night's Edge was the strongest sword in the game, although it has been dethroned since. Nonetheless, it is still the strongest pre-Hardmode sword; except on 3DS, where Phasesabers are already available pre-Hardmode.
• The Night's Edge is the only item crafted at an Altar that is not a boss-summoning item.
