The Executioner's Blade is a craftable post-Moon Lord rogue weapon. It auto-fires a continuous stream of homing purple blades that explode on impact, inflicting God Slayer Inferno on any enemies hit. The blades can pass through walls and travel for quite some distance before being affected by gravity. Thrown blades cannot home in on enemies while they are inside of solid blocks. Each use of the weapon throws a set of three blades, but when the attack button is held down the stream of blades is continuous.
Performing a stealth strike with the Executioner's Blade causes a row of twenty identical blades, to fall swiftly downwards once the resulting blades strike which deal 60% of the original damage. The row of blades will not home onto enemies unlike the main blades.
Its best modifier is Flawless.
