The Falcon Blade is a melee weapon that has a 1 in 16 chance to be found in an Iron Crate. It is stronger than the Blood Butcherer, and has an incredible knockback compared with its tiny range. The weapon is rather useful in late pre-Hardmode, as it has high damage, decent knockback, and high attack speed. It's surprisingly powerful, considering you can get it so easily and early in the game. It is often considered to be better than the Night's Edge, as, although its base damage is lower, the blade's speed is much faster. It can also be obtained very early on with enough luck or patience.

The Falcon Blade autoswings on the  Desktop version,  Console version, and  Mobile version.

Its best modifier is Legendary.
