Use

The Essence Flayer is a craftable post-Moon Lord broadsword. When swung, it fires a spinning purple scythe that functions similarly to the Death Sickle's sickles, traveling a moderate distance before stopping in place. The scythe spins for a few seconds before slowly stopping, becoming slightly transparent and dissipating afterwards. The scythe homes on nearby enemies and deals continuous damage for up to 11 hits before dissipating. When enemies are killed by the scythes, healing essence flames will spawn which home on the player and explode on contact, healing them for 8 health.

Its best modifier is Legendary.
