Topaz crystal forging and subterranean radiance
The Yellow Phasesaber is upgraded by combining a topaz-crafted Yellow Phaseblade with 25 Crystal Shard clusters at a Mythril Anvil or Orichalcum Anvil. This weapon crackles with bright amber-yellow light, cutting through targets for 50 base melee damage. Its luminous blade pierces murky darkness and remains fully active when submerged in deep water without losing illumination. The swing emits a distinct electric hum that distinguishes it from conventional metal swords.
Close-quarters crowd control and reforge modifiers
Boasting a Very fast attack cycle of 16 ticks and built-in continuous swinging, this saber excels at repelling fast cavern predators upon entering early Hardmode. While its base knockback of 3 is relatively modest, the rapid strike rate keeps aggressive fighters at bay in tight tunnels. Pairing it with melee-enhancing armor sets like Frost armor adds lingering frostbite damage to every slash. The optimal modifier for maximum strike velocity, critical probability, and weapon reach is Legendary.
Trivia
- The Yellow Phasesaber emits glowing yellow sparks that reveal hidden caves behind thin subterranean walls.
