Tips

• The Panic Necklace is especially useful at the beginning of the game if Hermes Boots (or their upgrades) have not been obtained, as damage taken from enemies will provide a great speed boost.
• If paired with a Sandstorm in a Bottle, the double jump from it will go much farther than usual for the duration of the Panic! buff. This can serve as a very fast movement option, but ideally should be paired with a means of negating fall damage.
• The speed boost can be triggered artificially, which can be quite useful, e.g. in boss fights.
  • The damage taken to trigger the buff should be kept as low as possible, which can be achieved with a Slime Statue or Spikes. ((Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) Note that Spikes inflict the Bleeding debuff, blocking natural health regeneration.)
    • An Adhesive Bandage or one of its upgrades can prevent the Bleeding debuff.
  • (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) Firing at the ground under the player's feet with a Wooden Bow and Hellfire Arrows should deal minimal damage.
  • (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) In Hardmode, Exploding Bullets fired at the ground with a low-damage firearm such as the Flintlock Pistol should do the same.

Notes

• The buff does not trigger by being damaged over time by a debuff.
