Melee weapons · early-hardmode tier

The verdict

With crit factored in, Pink Phasesaber puts out 195.0 DPS against 108.0 for Mythril Halberd — about 81% more damage per second. Base hits are Mythril Halberd 45 vs Pink Phasesaber 50, so the gap comes as much from attack speed and crit as from raw damage.

Pink Phasesaber swings faster at a 16-tick use time versus 26, so it lands on-hit debuffs like ichor, procs set bonuses, and reapplies knockback more often — an edge the flat DPS figure understates.

Both are Melee weapons, so the same armor set and class accessories buff either one — you can swap between them without rebuilding your loadout.
