The Abyss Blade is a craftable Hardmode melee weapon that is the direct upgrade to the Depth Crusher. When used, it throws a gravity-affected spinning abyssal sword that pierces infinitely. Upon colliding with a tile, the sword rapidly launches itself towards a nearby enemy and deal 200% damage, and spawn 6 homing water energy particles which each deal 30% damage. Both the launched sword and water energy partcles can pass through tiles and do not pierce.

Its best modifier is Godly. It cannot get modifiers that affect size.
