Durendal



The Durendal is a Hardmode whip crafted from Hallowed Bars. If the whip continuously strikes an enemy, its attack speed will noticeably increase (by 35%) for a short time. This bonus will continue to occur even if the player switches to another whip or melee weapon because of the Durendal's Blessing buff.

Trivia

 * The design of the item may stem from the Castlevania Whip sword item, as seen in Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow and Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow.
 * The character Ivy Valentine, from the Soulcalibur fighting game franchise, wields a similar weapon.
