Explosion

The Astral Blade is a craftable Hardmode broadsword that autoswings. It has a considerable swing speed and has a much higher base critical strike chance than average. The weapon's damage, knockback, and critical strike chance is boosted by the remaining percentage of target's health. If the target's life is above 50% then a solely visual explosion of dust is formed.

Its best modifier is Legendary.
