Banners (enemy)

Enemy Banners are functional furniture items that can be placed on the underside of blocks. They are dropped by enemies.

On the, when placed, enemy Banners provide a buff to players within a 50-tile radius. The buff grants players +50%/ damage inflicted with all weapons to the corresponding enemy and -25%/ damage taken from melee attacks against the enemy. They also seem to reduce the spawn rate of the corresponding enemy.

Multiple Banners of the same type will not grant stacked buffs. Multiple different banner types in the vicinity will however all take effect, and consolidate into a single buff icon.


 * On the, an enemy Banner automatically appears in the player's inventory on every 50th kill of that enemy in a particular world. If the player's inventory is full, the banner will be dropped by the player instead.
 * On the, any enemy Banner has a 1/200 (0.5%) chance of dropping from its corresponding enemy.
 * Banners dropped by enemies from the Old One's Army are purely decorative and do not grant a buff. The number of kills required to get a banner from this event depends on the enemy's frequency: common enemies need a higher number of kills.

There are currently 258 enemy Banners: 92 pre-hardmode, 166 Hardmode. An additional 8 enemy Banners are unobtainable.

Trivia

 * Each banner may be placed in a right- or left-facing orientation, but this is decided by which tile column in the world the banner is placed. Placing it one block to the left or right will flip the orientation.
 * The left half of the Nymph Banner is of the Lost Girl "NPC", while the right half is the Nymph monster.
 * The Martian Probe, Dungeon Guardian, Crimtane Bunny, Crimtane Goldfish, and Vicious Penguin have no banners.
 * Moss Hornets share a kill counter with their pre-Hardmode counterparts, but are unaffected by the banner.
 * The Hoplite and Medusa Banners are the only banners that do not show a picture of the monster on it. Instead, each resemble dark green banners with golden Greek patterns, with the the Hoplite and Medusa Banners having a picture of a skull and snake on them respectively.
