Diamond blade construction and stark radiance
The White Phaseblade is constructed at an Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil by fusing 15 Meteorite Bar ingots with 15 Diamond gems. Delivering 26 base melee damage, its Very fast attack speed of 18 ticks casts pure white radiance into pitch-black caverns. Each swing clears dark subterranean spaces without requiring players to spend torches, establishing safe perimeters during underground mining runs while warding off cavern pests.
Diamond gemstone investment and Phasesaber transition
Because diamonds are the rarest standard gem found within underground stone, crafting this blade represents a noticeable gem investment compared to amethyst or topaz alternatives. It easily holds off cave bats, jellyfish, and wandering zombies prior to the Dungeon expedition. Its striking beam-like appearance and steady swing make it a dependable sidearm during subterranean resource runs. In Hardmode, combining this sword with 25 Crystal Shard growths at an anvil produces the White Phasesaber. The Legendary modifier is the best possible reforge, granting peak increases to damage, swing velocity, and size.
Trivia
- The White Phaseblade produces the brightest, cleanest white illumination of any energy blade in pre-Hardmode.
