Ichor Bullet

Ichor Bullets are Hardmode bullets that inflict the Ichor debuff to enemies, decreasing the enemy's defense by 20 points, which effectively can increase the damage from the bullet an additional 10 hit points from its base value of 13, totaling the effective damage of up to 23. They are the Crimson counterpart to the Corruption's Cursed Bullets.

Tips

 * The Destroyer, the, all , and the are immune to the Ichor debuff, making this ammunition mostly useless against them.
 * Ichor Bullets reflected by Mimics in Expert mode do not inflict the Ichor debuff on the player.
