Cursed Blade

The Cursed Blade is a craftable Pre-Hardmode summon weapon. When used, it summons a cursed blade that attacks nearby enemies by dashing into them and delivering several slashes that deal 50% damage to enemies, followed up by an explosion that deals 100% with a guaranteed critical strike.

Its best modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stats bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits. The only significant advantage a Mythical weapon has over a Ruthless one is knockback.
