Banners (enemy)

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

In the, when placed, enemy Banners provide a buff to players within a 50-tile radius. The buff grants players +50% damage inflicted (+100% in Expert Mode) and -25% damage taken from melee attacks (-50% in Expert Mode) against 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.


 * In the PC version, an enemy Banner automatically appears in the player's inventory on every 50th kill of that enemy in a particular world.
 * In the Console and  Mobile versions, an enemy Banner has a 1/200 (0.5%) chance of dropping from its corresponding enemy.

The are currently 242 enemy Banners: 93 pre-Hardmode, 149 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.
