Use
The Caustic Edge is a craftable Hardmode broadsword that autoswings. When swung, it fires a green-purple sword beam that can bounce or pierce twice but loses 50% velocity on each bounce or enemy hit. The sword beam deals 75% of the weapon's damage. True melee hits and sword beams inflict the Acid Venom debuff.
Its best modifier is Legendary.
