Ichor Arrows in action.

The Ichor Arrow is a Hardmode arrow that inflicts the Ichor debuff for 10 seconds (except in PvP). It can be considered the Crimson counterpart to Cursed Arrows, which inflict the Cursed Inferno debuff. Ichor Arrows are destroyed when fired and therefore are never recoverable.

Tips

  • The Ichor debuff, which reduces defense by 15, can actually amplify the damage of the arrows themselves against an afflicted enemy. This is very helpful for killing bosses like The Twins and Duke Fishron.
    • Note that some enemies are immune to the debuff, in which case the arrows will deal their normal damage (along with armor/weapon bonuses) only.
  • The crafting ingredient Ichor can be difficult to obtain in early Hardmode due to increased difficulty. Hellfire Arrows are helpful for early farming.
    • Alternatively, one can use Unholy Arrows until they acquire Hardmode-tier weapons and armor, at which point Ichor Stickers can be easy to defeat allowing more Ichor to be obtained in masses.

History

  • Desktop 1.3.0.1:
    • Damage increased from 15 to 16.
    • Now creates 150 Ichor Arrows per Ichor instead of 35.
