Game Mechanics The Night’s Edge and Excalibur (along with their True variants) will deal more damage at specific times of day.

[TheGuideIsEvil]

This is 10-15% damage to be exact for the original Night’s Edge, and its True upgrade gets 20% more damage at night. This kinda fits the name.

Tooltip for NE: Deals more damage at nighttime “The blade of darkness.”

Tooltip for TNE: Deals even more damage at nighttime “The blade of darkness’s rewards program”

Also, if the Night’s Edge is made with the Blood Butcherer instead of the Light’s Bane (if the NE is made in a Crimson world), then it and its upgrade has a slight red tint. The original sprites are used for Corrupt worlds.

The Excalibur and True Excalibur, being the blades of light, has the inverse effect of dealing more damage at daytime, at the same exact rates.

Excalibur tooltip: Deals more damage in the day, “The blade of light.”

True Excalibur tooltip: Deals even more damage in the day “Stone pull out game strong”

And finally, a Terra Blade updated tooltip (though the weapon doesn’t really get much more special effects since it is both light and dark)

Terra Blade tooltip: “The union of light and dark that makes purity”

It’s a nice thought, but night’s edge is actually one of the best weapons for its tier already and probably shouldn’t be buffed.

Oh..I just added the Excalibur to this suggested post lol, but I see

The Night's Edge benefits massively more from this than the Excalibur does. You're fighting many more bosses at night than during the day.

these swords are too important for Melee's balance to have a gimmick like this attached to their base DPS, and in general the idea isn't very fun because Daytime isn't something influenced by your character, it just boils down to summoning the boss at the correct time of day, or deal some more damage to enemies 50% of the time

I guess Excalibur is better for invasions or Solar Eclipse? It’s the inverse, at least.

I guess you make a point, I was just giving it a qol bonus
