The Thorns Potion is a buff potion which grants the Thorns buff when consumed. The buff inflicts a knockback of 10 (Extremely strong) on enemies that come into contact with the player, dealing (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) 100% / (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) 33% of their damage to them.[1] This lasts for 8 minutes(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) / 2 minutes(Old-gen console and 3DS versions), but can be canceled at any time by right-clicking the icon (), by selecting the icon using Cycle Next/Previous Buff and then pressing Remove Buff (), by selecting the icon and canceling it in the equipment menu (), by double-tapping the buff icon (), or by canceling the buff from the buffs screen ().

Notes
- (Old-gen console version) This potion cannot be created in worlds with Crimson, as Worm Teeth are only dropped by Devourers in the Corruption. This is likely an unintended issue which arose with the 1.2.3 change. The Fishing feature introduced in 1.2.4 seems however to have balanced this by giving Crimson worlds the Heartreach Potion and Rage Potion while only giving Corruption worlds the Wrath Potion. However, both the Heartreach and Thorns Potions can be found in Chests, regardless of world type.
- The buff stacks with the Cactus armor's thorns set bonus, but not with the thorns effect from the Turtle armor set bonus, which overrides it.
- (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) The Thorns buff also overrides the Dryad's Blessing buff.
- (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) The reflected damage will be decreased by banners (25% in Classic or lower, 50% in Expert or above), rerolled inversely by luck (having negative luck will give a chance to increase incoming damage, and thus increasing thorns damage as a result) and capped at 1000 damage.
Tips
- This potion can be useful in fights where body contact is likely, such as the Creepers spawned by the Brain of Cthulhu or the final portion of the Queen Bee fight. It should never be relied on for primary damage, though, as enemies have much more health than the player.
Trivia
- Like the Wrath Potion to the Rage Potion, the Thorns Potion may be seen as the Corruption counterpart to the Heartreach Potion, as they both give defensive buffs with imagery which references their respective biomes.
History
- Desktop 1.4.1: The Thorns effect has been increased from 33% of damage taken to 100%.
