Fetid Baghnakhs



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

Tips

 * The Fetid Baghnakhs can be considered an upgrade to the pre-Hardmode Bladed Gloves, considering the similar exceptional speed and short range.
 * 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 (using a shield) when using them.
 * Size-increasing modifiers like Large, Massive, Dangerous, and Legendary can make up for the short range.
 * 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.
 * with the right set up you can grapple to a wall and kill Plantera before it can kill you

Trivia

 * s are clawed weapons from India designed to be easily concealed, hence the weapon's small size. 'Bagh' means 'Tiger' in Hindi and 'Nakh's means 'Nail's in Marathi.
