Fetid Baghnakhs



Fetid Baghnakhs are a Hardmode melee weapon with a short range but an exceptionally low use time &mdash; lower than the Bladed Gloves &mdash; making it the fastest melee weapon in the game. Fetid Baghnakhs are dropped by Crimson Mimics in Crimson biomes.

The best Modifier available to the Fetid Baghnakhs is Legendary. Alternatively, Massive could be useful since the Fetid Baghnakhs have such a short range.

Tips

 * With melee damage-increasing accessories and armor, this item can reach 3000+ . Various speed modifiers can reach 20 swings per second (3-4k ) with 51% attack speed, or 30 attacks per second (7-10k ) at 101% attack speed. Stacked accessories with the Violent modifier can push its swing animation down to a single frame.
 * This weapon can devastate The Destroyer or other enemies with multiple segments, but its short range means taking high damage in the process.
 * Using any of the shield accessory (Cobalt Shield, Obsidian Shield, Ankh Shield) with this weapon will prove to be useful because of the lack of range of this weapon.

Trivia

 * Bagh naka are clawed weapons from India designed to be easily concealed, hence the weapon's small size. Their name means "tiger's claw" in Hindi.
