Why is the Terra blade the strongest weapon?

ALL of the sources say the Terra blade is the best sword in the game but that doesnt make sense since with both being on legendary is does about half of the damage of meowmere which by extension should mean meowmere is the best sword in the game but even the official wiki states the Terra blade as the best and the meowmere as simply an end-game sword

You must be looking at old stuff. It is widely known that Meowmere and the Starwrath are the best swords in the game. Starwrath gets no love...

You don't have to follow the Wiki. Meowmere and Starwrath are the two best swords in the game.

I agree on that. Star wrath is definitely my favorite of the two. Especially since the projectiles won't be reflected on expert and come back and hit you for 300 damage.

Finnaly! Someone else who knows of Starwrath! No one ever brings it up.

im looking at the official forums and hearing what others ingame tell me and if you google what the strongest weapon in terraria is it will show a quote from the official wiki that says: The terrablade is the most powerful sword in the game" while the meowmere says: "The Meowmere is a Hardmode, post-Moon Lord melee weapon" this is even though the damage values of the meowmere vastly surpass the damage values of the Terra blade and theres even still an achievement to acquire the Terra blade but no achievement to acquire the meowmere

Well than that must just be google picking out keywords and matching them with older information. Also, the Terrarian took the Terra Blades place with weapon achievements, that is why. There is also an achievement for Moonlord him self, so that should count for something.

someone in that case should go the offficial wiki where it says the Terra blade is the strongest sword in the game and change it

I think there is public editing, but I am not too sure. I never really paid too much attention.

Is that the gamepedia wiki? Because the other one has been known to suck for quite some time.

I know. It's annoying how everyone goes only for the meowmere.

i would use Starwrath but underground it loses some effectiveness and really meowmere ups damage

google appears to quote that one as the right one why would you tell me the wrong one is the one thats listed as the "official" wiki?

Because if a weapon does more dps with just switching the weapons out (same gear just switch weapons) then the one with higher dps is better the Terra Blade is horrible compared to meowmere or (My Favorite) the Star Wrath

I think the Terra Blade is an amazing achievement..Or at least used to be.
The concept of making One evil sword forged from the biomes, and one 'holy' sword forged from the metal of the Bosses, then combining them into an awesome sword... It's awesome in my eyes.

I wish they did this for the Ranged, Magic, and summoners too, instead of only Melee. I came up with a few ideas, but it's hard without adding new items. So here are my Night's Edge counterparts.
------------------------------
Ranged: Demon/Tendon bow + Handgun + Bee's Knees + Molten Fury = Twilight's Pierce
Sort of like the Chlorophyte Shotbow in effect, shoots arrows in bursts at high speeds. Causes several status effects. Mediocre damage, high speed.

Magic: Vilethorn/Crimson Rod + Magic Missile + Bee Gun + Flamelash = Solar Silence
Imagine a Hellwing Bow that shoots dark swirling beams instead of bats. That's this weapon. Probably would do high damage for High mana cost.

Summon: Slime Staff + Hornet Staff + Imp Staff = Skeleton Staff
Spawns Skeletons with a dark aura. They throw bones, and fly around in coffins.
