Perfectly true to its name, the Christmas Tree Sword is literally a sword that’s shaped like a Christmas tree.

You can make use of this as soon as crafting it and until you acquired another, stronger sword. However, it’s nowhere near as powerful as the other swords on this list.

This weapon is no pushover and can help you survive Hardmode early on. You can craft this if you have the Night’s Edge and after you’ve acquired the Broken Hero Sword. It deals about 70 damage and it also fires a spinning green and purple projectile every 0.86 seconds.

The Night’s Edge just happens to be one of the best swords during Pre-Hardmode, and its true version is a powerful weapon you can acquire early on in Hardmode. The most well-known usage of the weapon was by the first Maratha emperor Shivaji who used a bichuwa and bagh nakh to defeat the Bijapur general Afzal Khan in the year 1659 CE.The True Night’s Edge is the “true” version of the Night’s Edge.As if it appeared to be raised above the player at all times. Prior to its nerfs in version 1.4.0.1, it was possible to stack enough melee speed boosts to reduce the attack animation of the Fetid Baghnahks to a single frame.The name of the weapon also means "Tiger's Claw" in Hindi, having said to be fashioned after the claws of big cats. Bagh nakhs are clawed weapons from India designed to be easily concealed, hence the weapon's small size.Given enough defense and high speed, the Fetid Baghnakhs prove useful for many boss fights like against Plantera and Golem, and most notably The Destroyer.Size-increasing modifiers like Large, Massive, Dangerous, and Legendary can make up for the short range.using a Cross Necklace) and be immune to knockback (using a shield) when using them. Therefore, it is recommended to have increased invulnerability time (e.g. The Baghnakhs' lack of range generally means risking it allows high damage, especially against more resilient enemies.The -14% knockback will not matter somewhat because of the short range. The Light modifier will increase speed by another 19%.Stacked accessories with the Violent modifier can push its swing animation down to a single frame. Various speed modifiers can reach 30 swings per second (3000–4000 DPS) with 51% attack speed, or 60 attacks per second (7000–10000 DPS) at 101% attack speed.When attacking enemies with multiple segments, such as worms, even 6000+ DPS is possible. With melee damage-increasing accessories and armor, this item can reach 3000+ DPS.
#TERRARIA SWORDS IN ORDER OF DAMAGE UPGRADE#
The Fetid Baghnakhs can be considered an upgrade to the pre-Hardmode Bladed Gloves or Falcon Blade considering the similar exceptional speed and short range.The Fetid Baghnakhs are the fastest melee weapon in the game.However, given the Baghnakhs' 75% melee speed bonus reduction compared to the Psycho Knife's 66% speed reduction, the Psycho Knife is capable of reaching higher speeds. The Fetid Baghnakhs are tied with the Psycho Knife for fastest melee weapon in the game.Smaller melee speed bonuses will have no effect due to rounding. This means that it takes significant investment for the Fetid Baghnakhs to actually increase in attack speed.This weapon only receives 25% of any melee speed bonus.
