Seven-gem prismatic forging and cycling color glow
The Rainbow Phasesaber is forged by infusing a Rainbow Phaseblade with 25 Crystal Shard items at a Mythril Anvil or Orichalcum Anvil. Its pre-Hardmode base sword requires gathering every gem type alongside meteorite bars, resulting in a prismatic energy blade that cycles smoothly through the entire visible color spectrum. It strikes for 50 base melee damage, providing dynamic multicolored illumination as it swings through subterranean caverns.
Continuous prismatic slashing and combat role
Featuring an automatic Very fast swing speed of 16 ticks, the Rainbow Phasesaber creates an unbroken barrier of chromatic energy. It excels at repelling hordes of early Hardmode enemies such as Possessed Armor and Wandering Eyes during nighttime surface expeditions. Because it functions as a dependable pure-melee broadsword without ammunition costs, it provides reliable defense while saving resources for ranged or magic weapons. The Legendary modifier remains the premier prefix for boosting damage, swing speed, and size.
Trivia
- The Rainbow Phaseblade and Phasesaber were introduced in 1.4.5, making them the newest members of the lightsaber weapon tree.
