The Night's Edge is a broadsword, notable for having the highest base damage of all swords available before entering Hardmode. It has slightly shorter reach than the Muramasa, one of its crafting ingredients. When swung, the Night's Edge emits light similar to the Fiery Greatsword and Muramasa, but the effect is more subtle and does not last as long.
In Hardmode, the Night's Edge can be upgraded to the True Night's Edge, which can be further crafted into the Terra Blade, one of the strongest swords in the Old-gen console version and
version. In the
Desktop version and
Mobile version, the Terra Blade can ultimately be crafted into the Zenith, which is usually considered the most powerful weapons in these versions.
On the Desktop version, the Night's Edge is capable of autoswing.
Its best modifier is Legendary.

Notes[edit | edit source]
- Because the Night's Edge requires the Muramasa, which is obtained in the Dungeon, it is only obtainable after Skeletron has been defeated.
- In a drunk world
, a Locked Gold Chest is almost always generated above the level at which Dungeon Guardians spawn, and it will always contain a Muramasa. Therefore, it is possible to obtain the Night's Edge before defeating Skeletron.

Tips[edit | edit source]
- With the Legendary modifier, this weapon can last well into Hardmode.
- Its components net 310 in total when sold, while the sword itself nets 4 (29.03% more) when sold.
- In the
Mobile version, autoswing can be enabled manually, enabling the Night's Edge to be autoswung.
- 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;
- 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[edit | edit source]
- 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
, 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.
- The four swords used to craft it all represent a major difficult pre-Hardmode biome: The Blade of Grass represents the Jungle, the Muramasa the Dungeon, the Fiery Greatsword The Underworld, and the Light's Bane/Blood Butcherer represents the evil biome.
- The Night's Edge is available as a real-life toy, produced by Jazwares.[1]
- It appears in Dungeon Defenders 2 as the Phantom's Edge.
- The Night's Edge resembles a Corruption-themed sword because of the particles it emits, regardless of the crafting recipe.
- It also looks like the Light's Bane, not like the Blood Butcherer.
- The sword's particles contain all of the ones from the swords it is made from: Muramasa (upright cross), Fiery Greatsword (diagonal cross), Blade of Grass (small bubbles), and Light's Bane/Blood Butcherer (large bubbles).
