The Wraith Slayer in use.

The Wraith Slayer is a Hardmode sword. On use, it quickly performs a two swing combo, consisting of an upwards and a downwards slash. Additionally, it deals double damage to Spirit Type enemies.

Upon killing an enemy, the Wraith Slayer has a 1/6 (16.67%) chance to provide the Cursed Samurai buff and spawn a friendly Cursed Samurai that will target other enemies, with Spirit Type enemies having a guaranteed chance to spawn one. A maximum of 4 Cursed Samurai can exist a time. Clearing the buff will set the health of all existing Cursed Samurai to 1, causing them to disappear shortly after.

Its best modifier is Godly.
