The Bladetongue attacking Target Dummies.

The Bladetongue is a Hardmode autoswinging sword that can be rarely obtained by fishing in the Crimson biome in any layer.

Upon striking an enemy, it inflicts the Ichor debuff for 5–9 seconds and fires an ichor stream at a random angle in front of the player. The ichor stream deals 70% base damage and knockback (38 base damage and a knockback of 4.025 (Average)),[1] pierces up to 4 enemies, and also inflicts the Ichor debuff for 3–7 seconds. The ichor stream can bounce on blocks up to 3 times and disappears either on hitting the fourth block or after approximately 2 seconds.

It is the Crimson counterpart to the Corruption's Toxikarp and the Hallow's Crystal Serpent.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Notes

  • Similar to Bee Keeper, the Bladetongue only creates projectiles when the sword strikes an enemy. This is unlike most other projectile swords, which fire projectiles regardless of whether or not an enemy is hit.
  • The Bladetongue fires one ichor stream each time it hits an enemy (with the sword itself), i.e., hitting three enemies in a single swing will cause the sword to fire three streams in total.
  • The sword itself also inflicts the Ichor debuff and can be used in conjunction with other weapon imbuements from flasks.

Trivia

History

  • Desktop 1.4.4:
    • Ichor Shot pierce count reduced from unlimited to 5 hits.
    • Projectile now inflicts static immunity, meaning it will no longer interfere with other sources of piercing damage.
