The True Night's Edge is a Hardmode, post-mechanical bosses broadsword and the direct upgrade to the Night's Edge. When swung, a circular purple aura follows the swing, reaching farther than the sword itself. The aura can hit up to two enemies. The sword will also fire a spinning green blade that deals 50% of the weapon's damage (35 base damage)^[1] and can strike up to 3 times.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Notes

• The spinning projectile applies 10 ticks^[2] of immunity frames on the targets it hits, but can still hit a target multiple times (if the target is large enough for the projectiles to stay on it after 10 ticks).^[3]
• If the aura hits an enemy, a purple flash is created; if the projectile hits an enemy, a green flash is created.
• The projectile will move relative to the player.

Trivia

• The True Night's Edge is depicted on a Steam badge.
