Use

The Darklight Greatsword is a craftable Hardmode broadsword. When swung, it fires a blue or purple blade that starts off slow before accelerating at full speed but will lose velocity as it goes through tiles and fade out before disappearing. The blades pierce twice and function similarly to the Death Sickle's scythes. When hitting enemies with the sword or its blades, it will create two additional red or blue slashes. The slashes spawned from the sword deal 80% of the weapon's damage while the slashes spawned from the blades deal 33% damage. The sword, blades, and slashes inflict the Hellfire or Frostbite debuffs.

Its best modifier is Legendary.
