Using the Fetid Baghnakhs to attack a Target Dummy. Note the short attack range but high speed and damage output.

The Fetid Baghnakhs are a Hardmode sword with a short range, but an exceptionally low use time (in other words, an exceptionally high attack speed). The Fetid Baghnakhs have a 1/5 (20%) chance of being dropped by Crimson Mimics.

Their best modifier is Legendary.

Notes

  • This weapon only receives 25% of any melee speed bonus.
    • Due to truncation, the first % of melee speed will drop the use time by 1, then it will take heavy investment to decrease the use time any further.
  • As a weapon that has autoswing and becomes faster through melee speed, the Fetid Baghnakhs will attack 1 tick[1] faster than its displayed or calculated use time. This occurs after all melee speed calculations are done, but is more notable here than for other weapons due to the weapon's already low base use time.
  • The Fetid Baghnakhs can be considered an upgrade to the pre-Hardmode Bladed Gloves or Falcon Blade considering the similar exceptional speed and short range.

Tips

  • With melee damage-increasing accessories and armor, this item can reach 3000+ DPS. When attacking enemies with multiple segments, such as worms, even 6000+ DPS is possible.
  • With a Legendary or other speed increasing modifier, Fetid Baghnakhs begins to swing faster at 1%, 67%, and 161% melee speed thresholds.
  • The Baghnakhs' lack of range generally means risking high damage, especially against more resilient enemies. Therefore, it is recommended to have increased invulnerability time (e.g. using a Cross Necklace) and be immune to knockback (using a shield) when using them.
    • Size-increasing modifiers like Large, Massive, Dangerous, and Legendary can make up for the short range.
  • Given enough defense and high speed, the Fetid Baghnakhs prove useful for many boss fights like against Plantera and Golem, and most notably The Destroyer.

Trivia

  • Bagh nakhs are clawed weapons from India designed to be easily concealed, hence the weapon's small size. The name of the weapon also means "Tiger's Claw" in Hindi, having said to be fashioned after the claws of big cats.
  • The most well-known usage of the weapon was by the first Maratha emperor Shivaji who used a bichuwa and bagh nakh to defeat the Bijapur general Afzal Khan in 1659.

History

  • Desktop 1.4.0.1:
    • Damage decreased from 70 to 60.
    • Use time increased from 7 to 8.
    • Now only gains 25% benefit from increased melee speed stats.
  1. ↑ A tick is a time unit countable by the software. Most of Terraria's updating logic happens every tick. A tick has the length of 1/60th of a second, hence there are 60 ticks in a second and 3600 ticks in a minute.
