The Dark Master is a craftable Hardmode broadsword. While the player is at 75% health or higher, they fire a fast-accelerating red slash towards the cursor. The slash deals an additional 0.1% damage for each additional point of max health the player has, starting from 400.

Pressing right-click summons 3 darkened clones of the player in a triangle formation which follow the player. The clones always fire beams which deal 40% damage as the player swings the weapon, regardless of their health. Clones do not deal contact damage even whilst swinging the sword and will disappear into black smoke as the player stops holding the item. The clones copy the player's current appearance, allowing them to display armor, vanity items and accessories.

Its best modifier is Legendary.
