Description of Excalibur from the official terraria wiki:
The Excalibur is a Hardmode sword which is capable of autoswing and can be crafted with Hallowed Bars. When swung, it emits yellow light particles typical of the Hallowed theme. It can be upgraded into the True Excalibur.

On the Desktop version Desktop version, Console version Console version, and Mobile version Mobile version, the sword has a large aura of bright yellow energy around the blade when swung, which significantly increases the range at which the weapon can deal damage to enemies, including coverage behind the player.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Notes
The player is unable to turn while swinging the Excalibur, similar to the War Axe of the Night and The Breaker.
Tips
The Excalibur can be swung while walking backwards, which is useful for knocking back enemies during retreat.
Unmodified Excalibur sells for slightly less than the Hallowed Bars required to make it (460 vs. 480), but since the random modifiers increase a melee weapon price by 11.2% on average, crafting and selling Excaliburs in bulk is still about 6.6% more profitable.
A better option is to craft several Excaliburs, sell the good ones as-is, and upgrade the worse ones into True Excaliburs (which is a good use of surplus Broken Hero Swords, as noted on their page).
Trivia
Prior to patch 1.2, the Excalibur was the strongest sword in the game.
Excalibur is the mythical sword of King Arthur from Arthurian legends. While some sources conflate Excalibur with the "Sword In The Stone" by which Arthur proved his kingship, more reliable sources have them as two separate swords. (Excalibur is later given to Arthur by the Lady In The Lake.) In Terraria, the Sword In The Stone is separately represented by the Enchanted Sword item.
The Enchanted Sword enemy shares the Excalibur's sprite design.
The Excalibur on the Desktop version Desktop version, Console version Console version, and Mobile version Mobile version has better stats than the Tizona, a sword crafted from the Excalibur on the Old-gen console version Old-gen console and Nintendo 3DS version releases (where the Excalibur itself is considerably weaker).
