Use

The Defiled Greatsword being repeatedly swung, with Sunlight blades (non-homing) hitting a Target Dummy, while Blazing Phantom and Hyper blades home in on a Super Dummy.

The Defiled Greatsword is a craftable post-Moon Lord broadsword that is the direct upgrade to the Blighted Cleaver and the final upgrade to the Tainted Blade. When swung, it fires three large spinning blades which each have various effects. The blazing and hyper blades home in on enemies and pierce 3 times. The sunlight blades accelerate as they travel and pierce 10 times. The sword and blades inflict the Acid Venom and Hellfire debuffs.

Striking an enemy with the sword itself grants the player the Brutal Carnage buff for 5 seconds, which provides +20% melee damage.

Its best modifier is Legendary.
