Sooo... Which ones your fav?
tru excalibur
excalibbyt true
True Excalibur
True nights edge is my fav. That projectile is worth
Got to be true nights edge. Range helps a lot more. But the true Excalibur absolutely shreds crowds but it's just a trade off.
always thought it was weird how the true night’s edge, the sword with a very visible green outline and projectile, was crafted with the souls of the mech bosses, while the true excalibur, the upgrade to the sword crafted with mech boss drops, was crafted with chlorophyte
that's a recent change, but yeah it's a bit odd.
I guess they wanted to show
How True Excalibur is a mix of machine and nature
And night's edge is made up terraria biomes while retaining these mech souls
Bassically trying balance both out...
Though i prefer Excalibur with souls and nights edge with chlorophyte now that u mention it
New crafting recipe is wack, bring back broken hero sword
I actually think it’s really cool, because True Night’s Edge is described as the “finest blade of darkness”, so it would make sense that it uses the essences of the mechanical bosses, who were made for evil. Plus, the tooltip for Chlorophyte bars says it “reacts to the light”, and since the True Excalibur is described as the “finest blade of light”, it would make sense that the Chlorophyte brought out its true potential
@@Swagbigailig that makes sense
If it wasn't because the true nights edge's projectiles were "laggy" it would be a really good option, but it's so hard to use i just prefer to farm eclipses for the death sickle
the “lag” is them moving with you, as they fly out, they also have your movement
@@tinnitusintensifiesvery annoying to use, especially when going horizontally. Vertically is also really bad
@@tinnitusintensifies i know, that's why it's hard to use if you move too fast
@@tinnitusintensifiesit also has terrible acceleration
True nights edge is dogshit
Idk if its just me but the True excalibur is just so much smoother and more fun to use
Its because the projectile of the true night's edge is clunky
@@Yollokillits as if the projectile has 400 ping
Same, I tried to do plantera with both swords but It's easier to just use the true excallibur it keeps plantera's vines away with it's knockback so it was pretty safe
true nights edge somehow feels WORSE than nights edge imo, whilst the excalibur is just amazing. honestly, i think the last of infinite pierce on the true nights edge projectile compared to the nights edge aura is a big downgrade, cuz a lot of the time i just stick with nights edge thru the destroyer, then if i have shadowflame knife i just kill the others, wait til the terrablade to use the true nights edge lmao
@@caoinhnamkhanh2795could not have said it better myself. TNE deserves some changes
"Now the real question is, which one is better?"
Terra Blade
I much prefer the true excalibur, the large hit radius is fun and it can be useful for clearing groups of enemies (like the solar eclipse which you'll likely be dealing with to get terra blade), while the true night's edge is kinda just mid, it fires slowly and doesn't deal much more base damage to make up for it, it has the range advantage but other weapons can deal more dps, it's also very difficult to hit fast targets (like mothron as shown in the video) due to its projectile behaving like the demon sickle except it also follows your screen
They gotta make the projectiles move normally and pierce more
@@buzzybees8604 They definitely also need to up the base damage or attack speed. It deals around the same dps as the shadowflame knife, and that's a pre-mech weapon.
"The true Excalibur" because true nights edge is following your screen
this is all the reason I need to never use it.
why use a weapon that is way too tedious to aim when I can use a weapon that is piss easy to "aim" and deals more damage
@@Lt_Koro, True Excalibur is a true melee weapon. This means you're more likely to take damage when using it, and considering that, for example, on the legendary difficulty many enemies kill you with literally one hit, this means a lot.
@@namesurname371 then I'd just not use either of them. other melee weapons at this stage arent that bad
@@Lt_Koro, In terms of DPS, True Night's Edge is still better than other non-TrueMelee weapons, despite its awkwardness.
However, I don't know, to be honest, I've killed Plantera with Flairon =)
@@namesurname371 dude every fishron drop can be used until post moon
True Excalibur has my heart ❤
I love a good glass cannon build so the fast swing speed is definitely for me
As someone who primarily plays Melee, I feel like I’m qualified to pitch in on this. The True Excalibur is an absolutely stellar weapon. It does great DPS, has good range (esp for a true melee weapon), and can hit up to 6 targets whereas other broadswords are capped at only hitting 3 targets per swing. It absolutely decimates plantera and is helpful for grinding enemies, such as in the post-plantera dungeon or solar eclipse. Plus, it’s one of the few True Melee weapons that can hit consistently enough to where Ichor is preferable over Cursed flasks in most scenarios. Then, we have True Night’s Edge, which heavily sacrifices damage for range. I genuinely feel like True Night’s Edge is the only weapon that got nerfed with the reworks. The projectile just isn’t that great, plus it’s super hard to aim, and the DPS is underwhelming, especially against plantera, as half the time you can barely even hit her in her 2nd phase. I feel like having the projectile pierce 1-2 enemies, as well as a slight increase to its base damage and speed, and making the projectile easier to aim would make it a lot better, because as it stands, it’s basically just a worse version of the Death Sickle that’s used to craft the Terra Blade.
Having done a melee playthrough after this update specifically to try out all of these new swords, for the very brief period of time that these were the two to use, I also heavily preferred the true Excalibur.
Just mash the left mouse and focus on movement. The projectile on the true Night's Edge was so frustratingly slow.
thanks so much @sockrteez for pulling up the debate (not sure about this expression) i used to prefer the NE, obviously because it was just better in every way. now tho since the melee rework, they are both good, and different, and i LOVE it, i prefer the true excalibur, since i'm experienced at the game and do not fear to go close to bosses, and i find the projectile too slow. the NE is very good against plantera tho, and i was really happy that you notified it, thanks for this sick video ( they always are), keep it up man :3
I prefer the True Excalibur. In Plantera's second phase, when paired with a titan potion, it did pretty well at knocking the tentacles out of the way, allowing me to hit the boss sooner than the TNE could have hoped to. It was also able to absolutely mince Mothrons when paired with the offense boosting beetle armor.
I also found TNE's role for doing damage from a distance to be overshadowed by the light discs, which may even do more DPS at range even if you hit every time with the TNE projectile.
I LOVE using the True Night's Edge for Plantera, as you said, it makes it easy as pie. As for mothron, I kinda prefer the True Excalibur. Except for the dashes, mothron flies pretty slowly, giving the True Excalibur enough range while you slowly move away.
While it may not look like it , true Excalibur is really helpful post mech boss exploration, funny enough I completed a melee playthrough today. True Excalibur easily shreds mobs as shown , helping in dungeon or jungle exploration.
True excalibur just looks prettier for me
I honestly just love the Excalibur, makes me feel like a power tool by slicing/drilling/cutting my way through anything
I prefer the True Excalibur just cause it feels so much smoother and does more damage. I can just run through and hold down swing and it goes fine, I'll still have True Nights Edge nearby though
Did you do a vid of your pirate invasion arena? If yes what is that video? im really interessted😂
4:06 its funny because he was using just the normal excalibur here
I love both but nights edge more (both normal and true variation)
Since they build into the Terrablade, which I always pick up, I tend to use them in tandem. They both have their uses. You should use them both before you get the broken hero sword. They are awesome.
The True Excalibur and is definitely the glass cannon if the two but could be better it the target is static
I like using the true Excalibur as a close up melee weapon during my ranged worlds.
The True Excalibur is more focused multiple targets, while the True Night's Edge is more on the single target side
Why do the true nights edge green projectiles move with you
Relogic should add a "true horsemans blade" as its one of the worst weapons to use against any boss. Being called 'Harvest Moon', the upgrade would summon up to 5 pumpkin moons that would fall from the above to strike your foes down, stacking with the amount of hits dealt. The moons would be around the size of lunatic cultists ice shard attack and would directly fall at the hitted target, but if there are more enemies at the screen then the moons would spread att them aswell.
It sounds a bit op ngl
True Excalibur has 6 pierce/target limit (does he read the wiki?)
Great video for pre plantera
if the true night's edge projectile didnt follow the camera (idk what words I should use there) I feel like it would be way more useful cuz it would be WAY easier to aim
Can you talk about who's better: crimson or corruption???
Correct answer:always use a drunk world
@@anshbasu8160 well, fair enough. But the drunk world is completely broken, I mean a normal world.
Depends if ur staying consistent with a class, but I’d say corruption overall
@@JohnnyBigodeTV I'd say,crimson for ranged and melee,and corruption for mage and summoner can go with either
@@anshbasu8160 I am a mage, and I prefer the crimson, and one word: I C H O R
Do a video of the star wrath.
It also might be worth considering how well the true excalibur does in the post-plantera dungeon. That thing RIPS in there
Anyone remember the old terra blade projectiles?
Hard to aim
It depends. TNE is good for bosses and for sniping if your low, but TE is good for invasions, events, and keeping enemies away.
True Night's Edge has two problems for me: 1. it's not the lag in projectiles, it's the hitbox. I feel like I should be hitting more enemies than I do. 2. Compared to regular night's edge, there's no pierce, making this awful for events, which is what it should've been good for. if there was a nerf to damage, and increase in hitbox and pierce, it would be really fun to use.
I DESPISE the new true nights edge, the projectille is so off. the fact it moves with you and just disapears if it goes within 3mm of the floor is painful.
True excalibur FTW
And I think they should change it to make it pierce more and make the projectiles less laggy and a bit fast
I don't see an issue
Idk why, I haven't gotten true night's edge yet notify me so I can see the issue
2:17 he says while you can clearly see on screen that it is not hitting an infinite amount
they made the true night's edge nearly useless after the rework. It does bad damage, it's projectiles are slow and laggy, and the weapon itself is slow too.
How about video for all three shadowflame weapons?
I've always preferred the nights edge, if gave better dps and I only really used it against plantera (a slow moving boss) and mothron (which didn't put up much of a fight) before I got the terra blade
In my opinion they both have different roles, but the true nights edge is just kind of bad at its job, with stuff like death sickle out classing it, while true excalibur doesn't really have any competition
I like to think that they both fill a roll. The true nights edge it's good at a far range and Excalibur shreds at melee range. But I think most people agree that they both do something important and that crafting the terrablade
The true excalibur serves a very good purpose being probably the best melee weapon pre plantera. The ranged damage of the true nights edge is easily substitutable. And you can aim straight at a unmoving target and still miss with the true night’s edge being the only goofy ahh projectile, which follows a curved line when moving
The True Night's Edge feels like it got nerfed so bad.
it did get nerfed
I like how everyone thinks true nights edge is the best true coz its one of the best pre hardmode swords, imo Excalibur feels smoother and faster to use, even without it true form it feels smooth and fast using them against the mechs. Especially destroyer
I’ll say, I do like the reworks, but I feel like the True Excalibur is just better than the True Night’s Edge in every way. The TNE’s projectile is so slow and delayed that it feels bad to use, and on top of that the TE has more speed AND more base damage.. which is so odd because the True nights edge for the longest time had now damage to justify its slow speed, now it just seems all-around worse
Can’t believe the true nights edge outranked it by that much. It’s so clunky even after the re work
It is SO STUPID that the nights edge has a projectile that follows the camera
I just use the true Excalibur plantera just cuz it feels better for me
before the melee rework i prefered true night's edge but with the rework the only reason i craft true nigh's edge is to be able to craft terrablade i just like excalibur more
I started playing like 5 months ago and seeing how bad the old versions of these weapons are is weird to me
Can terraria devs just hurry up and add some sort of ancient true swords and terra blade? I just really miss the old ones 😢
If there is an argument on what is better about weapons obtain at the same time, then it just means the dev makes a good job at balancing.
I honestly think they should rework the True Night's Edges projectiles. It just feels so weird having them sticked to your screen, constantly adapting to your movement speed. That could be utilized to hit things behind walls or in other funny occasions, but for that, they are to fast lmao
Probably nerf it's damage a little, and make it's projectiles pierce and easy to control, like the Terra Blade or smthin, but idk
As a 1.2 player, I have my opinions. In 1.2, you would pick the true nights edge as it was easier to aim. The true Excalibur never came close to the damage output of the night's edge. Even more the terra blade was overpowered. 1.3 came, and with it came the zenith, but the terra blade received a nerf, thirding its attack speed. Then it became what it is today, and I hat the new form/. Although every day of the week I will choose to use the true Excalibur.
Ngl i think the true Excalibur is a little better but the True nights edge does better in crowd control
Uh what, did you switch the names around? True night's edge is terrible for crowd control
true night's edge is my poison, and it s really easy to aim especially against bosses!
doesn t matter if it s plantera, duke, golem, it s an easy win against them, keeping your distance and shredding them
I use both for an easy Plantera kill to combine them into one.
He should do this for pillar weapons
The best one out of the two?
Terrablade.
Combine the powahhhhhh!!!!
you know, getting the best weapon is cool, but for me the best weapons are the fun to use ones and cool ones.
in conclusion i like the true excalibur more
Honestly I like them both equally as the both are needed to become the terrablade
Im not gonna shut up about Fetid Bhagnaks until you make a vid about them. They SHRED mothron and are available as soon as you hit HM!
fetid bhagnaks are situational
Idk if it's just me but the true excalibur looks like it's only hitting 6 enemies 2:15
Bro do crysyal storm it does more dos then mega shark and you can get it as soon as hard mode starts
I was so excited to use the true nights edge, but when I tested it, it’s dps was pretty close to just the chain guillotines on 3 targets, tho maybe that’s because they were dummies? Felt like a big disappointment
Both have pro and con , true night edge have better range but lack in speed and piercing while true excalibur have better speed and piercing but lack in range , so if there are lots of enemy then excalibur is much better while if there aren’t many then night edge.
True Excalibur but I preferred True Nights Edge before the changes
I don't like the true nights edge because the projectile moves with your character, so it's hard to aim it and dodge at the same time. I prefer the true Excalibur
He should do normal nights edge vs normal Excalibur 😅
I like them when I combine them into the terra blade
Are those true swords damage increased ?
I hope they will not forget other melee
Because most just too simple to be dangerous to enemy
i hate the true nights edge projectile its so slow its like firing big demon scythes that deal mid damage and the true Excalibur is actually really good for circling plantera it makes the fight a free win.
ive always thought true excalibur was better, and even if it isnt i still prefer it
Tbh tne and true excalibur are both good in my books, so I like them both equally :)
For the people who chosse true nights Edge they literaly noobs tô the game, First: true nights Edge hás an low Speed project, that follow your screen
Now about true Excalibur its good First: good damage, good range, good Speed and destroys events like eclipse and blood Moon
I’m not a particularly edgy person, so I tend to go for the light options.
i respect your answer, but the nights edge looks cooler to me so therefore is the better one
Your all wrong the best weapon and by far the strongest is the copper short sword which is actually pretty big
For those who are good at dodging, the true Excalibur is better 100% of the time. Especially with damage accessories, TNE can feel sluggish and bulky compare to the True Excalibur
True Excalibur only hits 6, you can see this with the dummies. True nights edge projectiles move based on distance to player, making the beams annoying to aim, so I like true Excalibur much more
true excalibur is by far the best. because of melee glove stacking the speed and size of this thing go to easily- obtainable super high numbers while the true nights edge isnt affected much.
mid-hardmode(plantera/golem) is a joke with this weapon. true excalibur abslutely SHREDS plantera's second phase, though i will admit for the first phase the true nights edge is better.
the true excalibur's close-up potential is even better than the terra blade in my opinion,
True night’s edge is a lot more safe. It goes all the way around you allowing it to stop any projectiles coming towards you as long as hitting those projectiles breaks em. It also is better for man eaters or angry trappers etc cus it goes into the ground below you, its just a lot better at keeping you safe (can hit enemies at a distance allowing u to kill em quicker and without needing to go out of ur way as much. Those are why I like it more, its a lot more convenient than the true excalibur.
nights edge projectile is jank so its a lot worse, excalibur can be quite good but takes more control to stay in range but not die
Are you sick sockrteez? You sound more tired/sick then usual. If you're not, sorry for asking!
Crazy how one rebalance made the True Excalibur better than the True Night’s Edge.
Due to the True Night's Edge also being pre-plantera, they're actually exactly the same in progression-tiers.
they're in the same progression tier, but the true excalibur is slightly further along in that tier. you can craft the true night's edge as soon at you kill your third mech, but for the true excalibur, you have to kill all 3 mechs, craft a pickaxe axe/drax with the souls, then mine chlorophyte before you can craft it.
@@tubegerm6732 Well yeah, but that can all be done right after third mech as well, so they're still the same progression tier.
@@AndromedasCartoon i didn't say they weren't in the same progression tier, i said that one of them is sligtly later in the progression tier. like, a wooden bow and platnum bow are both pre boss bows, but the platnum bow is later in that same progression tier.
Light Discs deal more dps that True Nights Edge
true excalibour is better in every possible way and i have no idea why ppl choose true nights edge over TE. fighting moon events and plantera/golem is much easier with TE and TNE dmg just sucks
bro was using the ranged part of the true nights edge which obviously does less damage than if you were to use it upclose
Ah yes, the Hallow will always be better than the Crimson or Corruption!
True Night edge is a sh*t = True Scalibur is EPIC
sick
To be honest I always though the new true nights edge was garbage
Before the rework, I primarily used the TNE if possible, and felt really bad about the TE just being too underpowered as far as initial strength went.
Honestly, Now I love using the TE over the TNE but it really depends on if I slack on a playthrough for the Night's Edge
i used true nights edge to kill plantera in master mode. Its very nice.
New terraria players must be so confused when we tell them how trash these uses to be
Didn't they used to be good, and then they got nerfed or something? Idk, I've known this game for like 6-7 years but I have always played on Xbox 360. I haven't touched the game since 2020-21 tho xD
@@LavaCreeperPeopleif you don’t know then why respond?
@@RNGuiceL u
@@RNGuice because terraria content is still fun to watch.
@@LavaCreeperPeople they have gotten better because bigger range and easier to control
True Excalibur is for close-ranged quick damage, while True Night's Edge is for far-ranged chip damage.
Yeah, as usual, they both have their pros and cons
True Night's Edge actually deals more dps at close-range though, it's just True Excalibur has more pierce making it better for multiple targets
Even in far range it's sooooo weak
if you get close enough with true nights edge it can get higher dps then true excalibur
@@leafyumm But that is not only more risky but also not worth, and if you want to mug the plant you pull out the death sickle anyway
as a true melee enjoyer im happy they made true excalibur a true melee sword
except for the fact it has a massive projectile
UMM...🤓 its still a true melee weapon🤓🤓🤓
@@damnthisisabadname
@@lecoindugamer7644 yea no projectile's being shot? its just a static aura around the sword aka a sword with m o r e range
@@caoinhnamkhanh2795 Well... Technically... It is a projectile. This also means that mods that affect specifically true melee, either damage or something else, wont affect the true excalibur. But in vanilla, no such effects exist, to my knowledge, and therefore, I would still count it as true melee. 🤓I feel like a nerd. The annoying type. Probably because i am.
if your definition of true melee is "short range" then yes. If it's "no projectile" then no@@lecoindugamer7644
i really hope they change the way the true night’s edge’s projectiles work in 1.4.5, i hate that they move with the screen instead of independently like the demon scythe
I hope it also gets a damage buff to be honest. I also voted in that poll shown at the start of the video and I was honestly surprised at how many people think true nights edge is the better sword. I thought that it was common knowledge how true Excalibur is better in pretty much almost every way.
Absolutely, this is something I hate seeing when i use it, it feels so unnatural
TNE was literally my favourite weapon in the game until they changed how the projectiles work, I hope they make the projectiles normal again
also the recipes should be swapped for both true varients, would make much more sense
@@end4567agreed I was shocked that people prefer the true night’s edge.
