Fetid Baghnakhs



Fetid Baghnakhs are a Hardmode melee weapon with a short range but an exceptionally low use time: They are the fastest melee weapon in Terraria. Fetid Baghnakhs have a 20% chance of being dropped by Crimson Mimics.

Tips

 * With melee damage-increasing accessories and armor, this item can reach 3000+ . When attacking enemies with multiple segments, such as worms, even 6000+ is possible.
 * Various speed modifiers can reach 30 swings per second (3000–4000 ) with 51% attack speed, or 60 attacks per second (7000–10000 ) at 101% attack speed. Stacked accessories with the Violent modifier can push its swing animation down to a single frame.
 * The Light modifier will increase speed by another 19%. The -14% knockback will not matter somewhat because of the short range.
 * The Baghnakhs' lack of range generally means risking high damage, especially against more resilient enemies. Therefore, it is recommended to have increased invulnerability time (e.g. using a Cross Necklace) and be immune to knockback (by using any kind of shield other than the shield of Cthulhu) when using them.
 * Size-increasing modifiers like Large, Massive, Dangerous, and Legendary can make up for the short range
 * Due to their high speed, DPS, and easy accessibility, they are a very easy way to defeat the plantera boss if used with a cobalt shield and an armor set with high defense such as turtle armor.


 * Given enough defense and high speed, the Fetid Baghnakhs prove useful for many boss fights like against Plantera and Golem, and most notably The Destroyer.

Trivia

 * The Fetid Baghnakhs can be considered an upgrade to the pre-Hardmode Bladed Gloves, considering the similar exceptional speed and short range.
 * s are clawed weapons from India designed to be easily concealed, hence the weapon's small size. Their name means "tiger's claw" in Hindi.
