Flairon vs Terra Blade
The verdict
With crit factored in, Terra Blade puts out 294.7 DPS against 205.9 for Flairon — about 43% more damage per second. Base hits are Flairon 66 vs Terra Blade 85, so the gap comes as much from attack speed and crit as from raw damage.
Terra Blade swings faster at a 18-tick use time versus 20, so it lands on-hit debuffs like ichor, procs set bonuses, and reapplies knockback more often — an edge the flat DPS figure understates.
For crowd control, Terra Blade hits with more knockback (6.5 vs 4.5), keeping enemies at range while you reposition.
Both are Melee weapons, so the same armor set and class accessories buff either one — you can swap between them without rebuilding your loadout.
