Animation of the True Night's Edge.

The True Night's Edge is a Hardmode sword. It is a stronger version of the Night's Edge, doing more damage and firing a glowing, spinning, green sword projectile called "Night Beam" in the direction of the cursor. Because this ability has a short cooldown, not every swing of the sword launches a Night Beam. The True Night's Edge is one of the ingredients necessary to craft the Terra Blade.

Unlike the Night's Edge, the True Night's Edge is capable of autoswing.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Notes

• Due to their similar properties and counterpart characteristics, the True Night's Edge can be compared to the True Excalibur:
  • The True Night's Edge does    36% (  30%) more damage, but is only 63% 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    16% (  20%) higher DPS as it may do less damage but has more speed 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 Night Beam seems to resemble a regular Night's Edge colored green, rather than a True Night's Edge.
• Unlike most projectile swords, the True Night's Edge fires a spinning projectile instead of a straight one.
• The True Night's Edge resembles the old sprite for the Night's Edge, with duller shading.
