Ruby crystal blade forging and crimson lighting
The Red Phaseblade is assembled at an Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil using 15 Meteorite Bar ingots and 15 Ruby gems. Slashing for 26 base melee damage with a Very fast use time of 18 ticks, it projects brilliant scarlet illumination. Its vivid red glow cuts through dark caverns and deep chasms while keeping aggressive monsters at bay without draining vital resources.
Pre-boss broadsword defense and Hardmode transformation
With higher base damage than silver or tungsten broadswords, the Red Phaseblade delivers solid defensive protection against Goblin Army invaders and pre-Hardmode spiders. It requires no ammo or mana, making it a dependable backup weapon for rangers and mages alike. Its bright red glow remains clearly visible through murky water pools, aiding visibility during flooded cavern exploration. Once Hardmode begins, uniting this sword with 25 Crystal Shard pieces at a Mythril Anvil upgrades it into the Red Phasesaber. Securing the Legendary prefix grants maximum boosts to damage, swing speed, size, and knockback.
Trivia
- The Red Phaseblade closely mimics the appearance of iconic red energy blades popularized in classic science fiction films.
