The Perfect Dark's swing animation. Notice how the vile balls do not travel in a straight line but are affected by gravity.

The Perfect Dark is a craftable Pre-Hardmode broadsword that is also dropped by The Hive Mind. When swung, it fires a dark ball that sticks to any tile that it contacts. After sticking onto a tile for 4 seconds or upon hitting an enemy, it explodes, emitting purple particles and damaging all enemies in a small radius. Both the weapon and dark balls inflict the Brain Rot debuff.

Its best modifier is Legendary.
