The True Excalibur attacking Target Dummies.

The True Excalibur fires a glowing pink sword projectile called "Light Beam" in the direction of the cursor every 0.48 seconds on average. Because this ability has a short cooldown, not every swing of the sword launches a Light Beam. The Light Beam travels in a straight line until it impacts a tile or enemy.

(Old-gen console version) Unlike the Excalibur, the True Excalibur is not capable of autoswing.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Notes

  • Due to their similar properties and counterpart characteristics, the True Excalibur can be compared to the True Night's Edge:
    • The True Night's Edge does 30% more damage, but is only 50% as fast. The Light Beam, the glowing sword projectile fired by the True Excalibur, can go through one block-wide gaps, both horizontally and vertically, while the Night Beam can pass through solid one block-thick walls if standing directly adjacent. It cannot be fired vertically through ceilings or floors.
    • Because it spins, the Night Beam effectively hits more enemies than the Light Beam. However, the Light Beam can be launched more often and moves at a faster speed.
    • The True Excalibur has a 13.33% lower DPS as it may swing faster but has less damage than the True Night's Edge. Note that DPS is merely a rough estimate and far from being a reliable stat for comparison.

Trivia

  • The Light Beams quickly pulsate, which can be viewed in detail by riding in a Minecart at full speed and firing straight forward.
