Sooo... Which ones your fav?
tru excalibur
excalibbyt true
True Excalibur
True nights edge is my fav. That projectile is worth
Got to be true nights edge. Range helps a lot more. But the true Excalibur absolutely shreds crowds but it's just a trade off.
Idk if its just me but the True excalibur is just so much smoother and more fun to use
Its because the projectile of the true night's edge is clunky
@@Yollokillits as if the projectile has 400 ping
Same, I tried to do plantera with both swords but It's easier to just use the true excallibur it keeps plantera's vines away with it's knockback so it was pretty safe
true nights edge somehow feels WORSE than nights edge imo, whilst the excalibur is just amazing. honestly, i think the last of infinite pierce on the true nights edge projectile compared to the nights edge aura is a big downgrade, cuz a lot of the time i just stick with nights edge thru the destroyer, then if i have shadowflame knife i just kill the others, wait til the terrablade to use the true nights edge lmao
@@caoinhnamkhanh2795could not have said it better myself. TNE deserves some changes
always thought it was weird how the true night’s edge, the sword with a very visible green outline and projectile, was crafted with the souls of the mech bosses, while the true excalibur, the upgrade to the sword crafted with mech boss drops, was crafted with chlorophyte
that's a recent change, but yeah it's a bit odd.
I guess they wanted to show
How True Excalibur is a mix of machine and nature
And night's edge is made up terraria biomes while retaining these mech souls
Bassically trying balance both out...
Though i prefer Excalibur with souls and nights edge with chlorophyte now that u mention it
New crafting recipe is wack, bring back broken hero sword
I actually think it’s really cool, because True Night’s Edge is described as the “finest blade of darkness”, so it would make sense that it uses the essences of the mechanical bosses, who were made for evil. Plus, the tooltip for Chlorophyte bars says it “reacts to the light”, and since the True Excalibur is described as the “finest blade of light”, it would make sense that the Chlorophyte brought out its true potential
@@Swagbigailig that makes sense
New terraria players must be so confused when we tell them how trash these uses to be
Didn't they used to be good, and then they got nerfed or something? Idk, I've known this game for like 6-7 years but I have always played on Xbox 360. I haven't touched the game since 2020-21 tho xD
@@LavaCreeperPeopleif you don’t know then why respond?
@@RNGuiceL u
@@RNGuice because terraria content is still fun to watch.
@@LavaCreeperPeople they have gotten better because bigger range and easier to control
True Excalibur is for close-ranged quick damage, while True Night's Edge is for far-ranged chip damage.
Yeah, as usual, they both have their pros and cons
True Night's Edge actually deals more dps at close-range though, it's just True Excalibur has more pierce making it better for multiple targets
Even in far range it's sooooo weak
i mean i used true excalibur on plantera entirely unprepared in expert get fixed boi and tore through the boss fight nearly unphased
if you get close enough with true nights edge it can get higher dps then true excalibur
as a true melee enjoyer im happy they made true excalibur a true melee sword
except for the fact it has a massive projectile
UMM...🤓 its still a true melee weapon🤓🤓🤓
@@damnthisisabadname
@@lecoindugamer7644 yea no projectile's being shot? its just a static aura around the sword aka a sword with m o r e range
@@caoinhnamkhanh2795 Well... Technically... It is a projectile. This also means that mods that affect specifically true melee, either damage or something else, wont affect the true excalibur. But in vanilla, no such effects exist, to my knowledge, and therefore, I would still count it as true melee. 🤓I feel like a nerd. The annoying type. Probably because i am.
if your definition of true melee is "short range" then yes. If it's "no projectile" then no@@lecoindugamer7644
If it wasn't because the true nights edge's projectiles were "laggy" it would be a really good option, but it's so hard to use i just prefer to farm eclipses for the death sickle
the “lag” is them moving with you, as they fly out, they also have your movement
@@tinnitusintensifiesvery annoying to use, especially when going horizontally. Vertically is also really bad
@@tinnitusintensifies i know, that's why it's hard to use if you move too fast
@@tinnitusintensifiesit also has terrible acceleration
True nights edge is dogshit
"Now the real question is, which one is better?"
Terra Blade
i really hope they change the way the true night’s edge’s projectiles work in 1.4.5, i hate that they move with the screen instead of independently like the demon scythe
I hope it also gets a damage buff to be honest. I also voted in that poll shown at the start of the video and I was honestly surprised at how many people think true nights edge is the better sword. I thought that it was common knowledge how true Excalibur is better in pretty much almost every way.
Absolutely, this is something I hate seeing when i use it, it feels so unnatural
TNE was literally my favourite weapon in the game until they changed how the projectiles work, I hope they make the projectiles normal again
also the recipes should be swapped for both true varients, would make much more sense
@@end4567agreed I was shocked that people prefer the true night’s edge.
the true night's edge projectiles for some reason are locked to your character instead of separate from the weapon, so it's harder to aim since you'll make the projectile move away from where you're aiming , not to mention they're slow
true excalibur has that close range thing, but in my opinion it'll get the job done better for most things over the true night's edge
I really liked the True Excalibur against Plantera when I tried it, the larger radius of high damage and infinite piercing works really well against Plantera's hooks in the second phase.
.....me..... puts 2 teleport waypoints and teleports and just shots this boss...why bother with a sword
@@Bullminator Melee class only playthroughs, plus, NO CHEESE! FIGHT WITH HONOR!
@@Bullminatormy mfw when using a setup to oneshot the boss makes the boss easy 🤯
If they True Nights Edge's projectiles weren't so delayed I think it'd be close for me, but otherwise the True Excalibur is my choice
That’s not even the problem. The delay is ok. But that they move with the screen is annoying. You can’t just shoot straight at the target like with any other weapon. Normal projectile weapons require you to predict where the target will be. The true nights edge requires you to predict a combo of where you will be and where the target will be. I hate it that way and it’s a so so easy fix. Just make the projectiles independent from the screen😩
My only problem with the True Night's Edge is that the projectile seems to slightly follow the player's movement, making it a bit awkward to use.
Just get up close, the extra range is throwing you off
"The true Excalibur" because true nights edge is following your screen
this is all the reason I need to never use it.
why use a weapon that is way too tedious to aim when I can use a weapon that is piss easy to "aim" and deals more damage
@@Lt_Koro, True Excalibur is a true melee weapon. This means you're more likely to take damage when using it, and considering that, for example, on the legendary difficulty many enemies kill you with literally one hit, this means a lot.
@@namesurname371 then I'd just not use either of them. other melee weapons at this stage arent that bad
@@Lt_Koro, In terms of DPS, True Night's Edge is still better than other non-TrueMelee weapons, despite its awkwardness.
However, I don't know, to be honest, I've killed Plantera with Flairon =)
@@namesurname371 dude every fishron drop can be used until post moon
I much prefer the true excalibur, the large hit radius is fun and it can be useful for clearing groups of enemies (like the solar eclipse which you'll likely be dealing with to get terra blade), while the true night's edge is kinda just mid, it fires slowly and doesn't deal much more base damage to make up for it, it has the range advantage but other weapons can deal more dps, it's also very difficult to hit fast targets (like mothron as shown in the video) due to its projectile behaving like the demon sickle except it also follows your screen
They gotta make the projectiles move normally and pierce more
@@buzzybees8604 They definitely also need to up the base damage or attack speed. It deals around the same dps as the shadowflame knife, and that's a pre-mech weapon.
I always wanted true night's edge to inflict cursed or shadowflame, idk, the prehardmode spear already does that
True Excalibur has my heart ❤
I love a good glass cannon build so the fast swing speed is definitely for me
I always prioritized the Excalibur in most if not all cases. I’m really surprised how much more popular the nights edge was. I found it a bit clunky to use with the projectiles and thought it did less damage. Overall, both great swords but the excalibur is my fav
Man I love your content it’s always so good watching your videos while eating
thanks so much @sockrteez for pulling up the debate (not sure about this expression) i used to prefer the NE, obviously because it was just better in every way. now tho since the melee rework, they are both good, and different, and i LOVE it, i prefer the true excalibur, since i'm experienced at the game and do not fear to go close to bosses, and i find the projectile too slow. the NE is very good against plantera tho, and i was really happy that you notified it, thanks for this sick video ( they always are), keep it up man :3
Having done a melee playthrough after this update specifically to try out all of these new swords, for the very brief period of time that these were the two to use, I also heavily preferred the true Excalibur.
Just mash the left mouse and focus on movement. The projectile on the true Night's Edge was so frustratingly slow.
As someone who primarily plays Melee, I feel like I’m qualified to pitch in on this. The True Excalibur is an absolutely stellar weapon. It does great DPS, has good range (esp for a true melee weapon), and can hit up to 6 targets whereas other broadswords are capped at only hitting 3 targets per swing. It absolutely decimates plantera and is helpful for grinding enemies, such as in the post-plantera dungeon or solar eclipse. Plus, it’s one of the few True Melee weapons that can hit consistently enough to where Ichor is preferable over Cursed flasks in most scenarios. Then, we have True Night’s Edge, which heavily sacrifices damage for range. I genuinely feel like True Night’s Edge is the only weapon that got nerfed with the reworks. The projectile just isn’t that great, plus it’s super hard to aim, and the DPS is underwhelming, especially against plantera, as half the time you can barely even hit her in her 2nd phase. I feel like having the projectile pierce 1-2 enemies, as well as a slight increase to its base damage and speed, and making the projectile easier to aim would make it a lot better, because as it stands, it’s basically just a worse version of the Death Sickle that’s used to craft the Terra Blade.
genuinely surprised that the true night's edge won that poll; I've never once used it because the true excalibur is just so much better lol, so much so that when I saw this vid in my sub box I thought "there's no way the true night's edge is that good"
True excalibur just looks prettier for me
Did you do a vid of your pirate invasion arena? If yes what is that video? im really interessted😂
I prefer the True Excalibur. In Plantera's second phase, when paired with a titan potion, it did pretty well at knocking the tentacles out of the way, allowing me to hit the boss sooner than the TNE could have hoped to. It was also able to absolutely mince Mothrons when paired with the offense boosting beetle armor.
I also found TNE's role for doing damage from a distance to be overshadowed by the light discs, which may even do more DPS at range even if you hit every time with the TNE projectile.
3:55 sharing this random fact again cuz it could help when aiming, the green ring projectile from the nights edge is a weird static projectile that moves with your player until it hits something, idk why but if you swing it left or right and jump while its still flying on screen youll see its glued to your screen as it travels, so as weird and dumb as it sounds you can take that into account when kiting or leading enemies with the projectile
i swear true night's edge only had 79% because it had a projectile and they ignored just how little damage it did
While it may not look like it , true Excalibur is really helpful post mech boss exploration, funny enough I completed a melee playthrough today. True Excalibur easily shreds mobs as shown , helping in dungeon or jungle exploration.
I LOVE using the True Night's Edge for Plantera, as you said, it makes it easy as pie. As for mothron, I kinda prefer the True Excalibur. Except for the dashes, mothron flies pretty slowly, giving the True Excalibur enough range while you slowly move away.
i would say i liked true excalibur more for the plantera fight, since in phase 2 you don't worry about plantera itself, but more her tentacles, since those also have health. (or at least that's how i do it) if you just dodge while constantly using the true excalibur, while also having some sort of summon focusing on plantera you're definitely good to go. you'll want to focus on your player than the actual boss i think
how were you dropping bouncing boulders at the end?
I honestly just love the Excalibur, makes me feel like a power tool by slicing/drilling/cutting my way through anything
Soo starting the game today. I’m a pretty hardcore gamer, and I’m ready asf to dive into this abyss of a game. Where do I start?
I miss the old true nights edge I wish there were an option were you csn shimmer all swords into the old swords like the ancient armour
i was so excited to try the new 1.4.4 nights edge and excalibur, such a glowup from what they were, but i was kinda dissapointed. they are better for sure but i guess dormant mod spoiled me with its version of the nights edge/ true nights edge
but i still have to go with true nights edge
I love both but nights edge more (both normal and true variation)
Why do the true nights edge green projectiles move with you
the true excalibur for me bc the main thing for the true nights edge is the projectiles in which the shadowflame knife does better at
Since they build into the Terrablade, which I always pick up, I tend to use them in tandem. They both have their uses. You should use them both before you get the broken hero sword. They are awesome.
I prefer the True Excalibur just cause it feels so much smoother and does more damage. I can just run through and hold down swing and it goes fine, I'll still have True Nights Edge nearby though
I've never really had issues with aiming, it's like other projectiles you have to pre-aim and mind the rhythm. But it's huge so it's hard to miss.
Great video for pre plantera
I feel the mandela affect in this cuz on my first play through I used maces up until terrablade or moonlord but my brother used swords so when we beat the mechs he crafted an Excalibur and I remember it having a projectile
The true nights edge is my favourite weapon in the game, it has a relatively demanding crafting recipe, but it isnt ludicrous, it looks like a beast, scales with melee speed REALLY well, and can really deliver some great damage if you can hit all the projectiles, i got good at doing this from playing countless shooter ganes, so aiming the wind up spinning blades is pretty easy for me, not hating the true excalibur, but i just simply prefer the true nights edge
Anyway thanks for making this video sock :))
I like using the true Excalibur as a close up melee weapon during my ranged worlds.
The True Excalibur and is definitely the glass cannon if the two but could be better it the target is static
Do a video of the star wrath.
It finally came out
I've always preferred the nights edge, if gave better dps and I only really used it against plantera (a slow moving boss) and mothron (which didn't put up much of a fight) before I got the terra blade
sockrteez try not to mention the drippler crippler in every video challenge
(lol I dont blame you its too good)
It also might be worth considering how well the true excalibur does in the post-plantera dungeon. That thing RIPS in there
4:06 its funny because he was using just the normal excalibur here
How about video for all three shadowflame weapons?
I have nights edge so how do i get the others so craft true nights edg
To* and edge*
Relogic should add a "true horsemans blade" as its one of the worst weapons to use against any boss. Being called 'Harvest Moon', the upgrade would summon up to 5 pumpkin moons that would fall from the above to strike your foes down, stacking with the amount of hits dealt. The moons would be around the size of lunatic cultists ice shard attack and would directly fall at the hitted target, but if there are more enemies at the screen then the moons would spread att them aswell.
It sounds a bit op ngl
Are those true swords damage increased ?
i love the true excalibur, its so much fun to use, very satisfying. i dont like the delay the projectiles have on the true nights edge, they take a second to fly away, kinda like the demon scythe, which imo makes it feel clunky.
It also moves with the screen which is very very clunky. When you move AFTER shooting the projectile, it moves with your screen making everything miss
Laser machine gun review when?
The True Night's Edge's projectile is really nice for standard play, but the projectile has a weird quirk where its projectile stays static compared to the player. Meaning if you fire it forwards and fly up, the projectile will essentially curve upwards to stay level with you. This makes it really difficult and unintuitive to aim in some fights, like what was shown against Mothron. I also found that the True Excaliber gave me one of the easiest Plantera fights I've had in a long time, since with good melee size/speed bonuses (like from the mechanical/magma glove) you can very easily just kite in small circles around the first phase with essentially no danger, and the AOE clears up all the little tentacles in the second phase pretty well.
What if they add a damaging light aura coming from the player when using the true excalibur?
Ngl i never used true excalibur. i was always very lucky triggering solar eclipse at proper timing just before entering jungle temple or beating golem.
My main issue about true excalibur is the moment we get this weapon. True nights edge only requires souls and nights edge, for true excalibur we need to get over 100 chlorophyte ore. I always prefer getting chlorophyte armor first so, this 100 ore isn't insignificant. Also after beating the destroyer its not like excalibur main pro is very useful - only at invasions it shines which is rather one or two events it is used and it is rather obscure weapon to use it just because it becomes obsolete after getting broken hero sword.
Fighting enraged plantera with cheese for the true excalibur: remove tiles and walls in a space where plantera cant reach anything when stretching out from the middle. Then place a single tile in the middle and you win.
I usually do full summoner so im less experienced in close quarters dodge so true nights edge for me
I would always use true melee weapons when not using agajnst bosses because it just feels so great smacking hordes of enemies on my flaming goat mount like a knight
if the true night's edge projectile didnt follow the camera (idk what words I should use there) I feel like it would be way more useful cuz it would be WAY easier to aim
I like those swords beside the efficiency, but that screen-fixed T-night's edge's projectile, I hate it.
It feels weird using screen-fixed projectiles, and it's *slow* like, a lot!
The True Excalibur is more focused multiple targets, while the True Night's Edge is more on the single target side
True excalibur is an absolutely glorious true melee weapon as of the rework and the true nights edge has always been a little underwhelming imo
He should do this for pillar weapons
True Excalibur has 6 pierce/target limit (does he read the wiki?)
before the melee rework i prefered true night's edge but with the rework the only reason i craft true nigh's edge is to be able to craft terrablade i just like excalibur more
Both become even better with a melee speed build.
When I have used the True Night's Edge for the first time, I was a bit mixed as the secondary slash created moves with me, but as I have used it more it has grown on me, mostly because I was using it up close to the target like its predecessor, and because of that it has grown on me
Now the True Night's Edge has to be my favorite, just by how it destroys single target foes if you are able to play it risky
Final verdict: True Excalibur excels in crowd control, especially with the solar eclipse til Mothron shows up, True Night's Edge is great for Single Target DPS if you are willing to play more greedily and more recklessly, but not too greedy/recklessly as you'll end up getting yourself killed
the true night's edge needs to be turned into an actual weapon and not one with camera-locked projectiles that hardly do any damage and are kinda low damage
I prefer the true excalibur more than the true night edge bc the true excalibur has more damage and for the range targets I usually use the shadow flame knife pre mechs and the death sickle post mech
The correct answer: BOTH. I did a melee playthrough (dont dig up seed) and I pivoted between the two a LOT until I got Terra Blade.
I much prefer true excalibur for plantera. The range is not as big of an issue as it looks
I am towards the end of a melee play through, I personally preferred the True Excalibur
I DESPISE the new true nights edge, the projectille is so off. the fact it moves with you and just disapears if it goes within 3mm of the floor is painful.
True excalibur FTW
And I think they should change it to make it pierce more and make the projectiles less laggy and a bit fast
True nights edge projectile should have had infinite pierce, just something about the “hard hitting” weapon both looking smaller visually and falling flat after 4 enemies show up feels weird
They need to make the true nights edge projectiles not weird
is it really that hard to get a broken hero sword to get a terra blade?
It depends. TNE is good for bosses and for sniping if your low, but TE is good for invasions, events, and keeping enemies away.
True Night's Edge has two problems for me: 1. it's not the lag in projectiles, it's the hitbox. I feel like I should be hitting more enemies than I do. 2. Compared to regular night's edge, there's no pierce, making this awful for events, which is what it should've been good for. if there was a nerf to damage, and increase in hitbox and pierce, it would be really fun to use.
The True Night's Edge feels like it got nerfed so bad.
it did get nerfed
2:17 he says while you can clearly see on screen that it is not hitting an infinite amount
I personally dislike using the True Night's Edge, the projectile so annoying to use properly and isn't satisfy at all to use. Probably my least favorite reworked sword, but it looks cool at least.
Almost close in damage but one of them is more ranged and easier to make that’s why true knight’s edge is possibly the better choice
The True Excalibur carried me crazy well.
True Night's Edge has more range than True Excalibur, but True Excalibur has more damage than True Night's Edge. True Night's Edge is more cooler to see, but True Excalibur attack is more smooth.
Well in my opinion they are both good.
true nights edge projectile feels wonky 😢
I like the true nights edge more then the true Excalibur and that is because I like the range of the nights edge
Bro but it does like a third of the damage of the true Excalibur
I was so excited to use the true nights edge, but when I tested it, it’s dps was pretty close to just the chain guillotines on 3 targets, tho maybe that’s because they were dummies? Felt like a big disappointment
Bro do crysyal storm it does more dos then mega shark and you can get it as soon as hard mode starts
I like them when I combine them into the terra blade
Anyone remember the old terra blade projectiles?
Hard to aim
Well that’s why the terrablade exists, to combine them.
I use both for an easy Plantera kill to combine them into one.
True Excalibur, no question. Even if it has less range it just feels soooo much better to use
