Talk:Ichor (debuff)

Should rename the page into Ichor (debuff) since the Debuff is not part of the name. Frostnine (talk) 16:22, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

Anyone know what enemies are immune to this debuff? It looks like Pumpking and Mourning Wood are. Can I have confirmation? Surhotchaperchlorome 21:32, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

Why is the moon lord marked in the note as if the buff is good against it but also mentioned as immune to it? I still haven't fought him so i can't say.

Enemies immune to Ichor section seems to be broken. ~FaedonRocks


 * The page has a "Cargo query" which can break after the page is edited. I recommend Purging the page, although for me it seems to be fine right now. --172.58.4.244 14:03, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Possible Jarate (Team Fortress 2) Reference?
Terraria features multiple references to the 2007 Valve shooter Team Fortress 2. The most notable of these is the Engineering Helmet item, which some users have noted bears a resemblance to the hardhat and goggles worn by the Engineer class. One weapon within Team Fortress 2 is a throwable jar of yellow liquid named "Jarate", which decreases the defence of entities soaked in the liquid by 35% for 10 seconds. To communicate this to players, doused entities have their character models dyed a yellow tinge. Ichor (debuff) decreases the defence of entities soaked in the liquid by 20. To communicate this to players, doused entities have their character models dyed a yellow tinge. The link between the two is further strengthened by the fact that both Ichor and Jarate are naturally produced by the bodily fluids of their users; Ichor seems to fill the body of enemies such as the Ichor Stinger. Its item tooltip also reads "The blood of gods". It is heavily implied in the official Team Fortress 2 comic The Insult that Jarate comes from repurposed urine. Jarate was first made available to Team Fortress 2 players on May 21st, 2009. Ichor (debuff) was added to desktop Terraria in the 1.2 update, which was released on September 30th, 2013.

While this reference is not as concrete as something like the Engineering Helmet, it still seems feasible to say Ichor could serve as yet another subtle nod to Team Fortress 2.
