Use

The Exalted Oathblade is a craftable Hardmode broadsword that autoswings and is the direct upgrade to the Forbidden Oathblade. When swung, it fires 3 spinning purple scythes that spread out as they travel, pierce twice, and deal 50% of the weapon's damage. Critical hits with the sword cause a purple explosion that deals 200% of the weapon's damage. The sword and scythes inflict the On Fire! and Shadowflame debuffs.

Its best modifier is Legendary.
