Artery's animation.

The Artery is a pre-Hardmode yoyo.

It is the Crimson counterpart to The Corruption's Malaise. The Artery has slightly higher damage and reach than the Malaise, but slightly lower knockback and spin duration.

Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount. However, Ruthless might be preferred if the player already has very high critical strike chance.

Trivia

  • Continuing with the Crimson's bloody and gorey theme, an artery is a blood vessel that carries oxygenated (fresh) blood from the heart.
