    Blood Butcherer
The Blood Butcherer attacking a Shark and a Target Dummy, inflicting one "stack" of the Blood Butchered debuff for each hit. Note how this deals 4 damage per second up to a maximum of 20 damage per second.

The Blood Butcherer is a pre-Hardmode sword crafted from Crimtane Bars. It inflicts the Blood Butchered debuff upon striking an enemy, dealing 4 damage per second for 9 seconds and causing enemies to visibly bleed. Similarly to the Tentacle Spike or Bone Javelin, repeated attacks will cause the debuff to stack up to five times, for a total of 20 damage per second.[1]

The Blood Butcherer's Corruption counterpart is the Light's Bane, which is smaller and somewhat weaker but with higher speed, and it is one of the key ingredients in crafting the Night's Edge.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Notes

  • The gouts of blood from the debuff will be replaced by clouds if the Blood and Gore option is turned off.

Trivia

  • Because the "Blood Butchered" debuff cannot be inflicted on players, it uses the icon of DistortedDistorted as a placeholder.
  • It is one of the first five Crimtane items available to the player, along with the Crimtane tools and weapons, the Blood Lust Cluster, the Fleshcatcher, the Tendon Bow, and the Artery, as it does not require Tissue Samples to craft.
