Snapthorn



The Snapthorn is a pre-Hardmode whip crafted out of Jungle materials.

Like other whips, it causes minions to focus on the last-struck enemy and increases their damage against the target. If the whip continuously strikes an enemy, its attack speed will increase for a short time. The whip also has a chance of inflicting the Poisoned debuff on enemies.

Tips

 * Due to the nature of Snapthorn's Jungle's Fury buff, switching to another whip while the buff is active will increase its speed for a brief period.
 * Despite the Leather Whip being the first whip summoners can access, it is usually easier to obtain the Snapthorn first as it is made from craftable materials, while the Leather Whip requires the Zoologist to be present, costs 15 gold coins, and needs 15% of the Bestiary to be filled (80 entries). Depending on the player's preference, it may be worthwhile for summoners to venture into the Underground Jungle to collect materials to craft the Snapthorn in the early game, despite the dangers the biome provides.
