Firecracker



The Firecracker is a Hardmode whip that is dropped from the Wall of Flesh with a /  chance.

Like other whips, it causes minions to focus on the last-struck enemy. It also inflicts the On Fire! debuff to all targets.

When a minion attacks an enemy marked by the Firecracker, a small explosion will occur, and the enemy takes three times the damage from the minion's attack. The explosion will not repeat itself until the enemy is struck again. The explosion does not damage multiple enemies.

Tips

 * It pairs extremely well with other Whips that temporarily increase melee speed on hit, such as Snapthorn and Durendal, as higher attack speed means it can reapply its tag more often.
 * This weapon produces light when swung, making it somewhat helpful in revealing caves and ores through walls.
 * Because this weapon's effect multiplies damage dealt instead of giving an additive tag damage increase, it works best with minions that have a high base damage. It is particularly effective when paired with the Desert Tiger Staff or the Stardust Dragon Staff, due to their unique ability to increase minion damage based on the number of slots invested in them.
 * On the contrary, minions that hit rapidly with low base damage such as Blade Staff and Xeno Staff pair poorly with this Whip.
