The Void Edge is a post-Moon Lord broadsword that is dropped by Eidolon Wyrms after Polterghast is defeated, as well as from the Primordial Wyrm. The Void Edge's projectiles inflict Crush Depth. When swinging the blade, 2-3 Phantom Spirits will be released and seek out nearby enemies. If there are no enemies nearby, they will hover around the player until an enemy gets in range.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Trivia

• The weapon is a reference to the Soul Edge weapon from the Exxo Avalon mod.

The Phantom Spirits released by the Soul Edge homing in on the player, and then on a Super Dummy.
