This article is about the debuff. For the crafting material, see Ichor.

Ichor is a Hardmode debuff that lowers the afflicted player's defense by 15, or adds 15 armor penetration when calculating damage against afflicted enemies. It is inflicted by the ranged attacks of Ichor Stickers in the Underground Crimson or by Tainted Ghouls found in Crimson Underground Deserts. It can also be inflicted by weapons and ammo crafted with Ichor.

Notes

  • Enemies and players afflicted with Ichor are highlighted in a golden color. They will be visible in the dark but do not emit light.

Tips

  • Because of its effect, Ichor is useful even in the late game, since very few enemies are resistant to it. It is especially useful against enemies with high defense (e.g. Skeletron Prime (especially during its spin attack), Duke Fishron, etc.)
  • A common tactic is to use an Ichor-inflicting weapon on an enemy, and then finish it off with the player's main weapon.

Trivia

  • The damage increase from Ichor on the player changes depending on the world difficulty (Expert(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions)/Master Mode(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions)), due to how the effectiveness of defense changes with the difficulty.
  • Ichor as a debuff may be a reference to Jarate from the 2007 multiplayer first-person shooter game Team Fortress 2, as both are yellow liquids that cause those afflicted to take more damage, along with both being implied to be urine.
