Crimson Rod



The Crimson Rod is a magic weapon that launches a reddish rain cloud towards the cursor, where it rains damaging blood droplets downward onto enemies below. The cloud projectile does not pass through terrain, instead stopping if it hits a surface before it reaches its target location. As well, its coverage area is rather narrow, making it difficult to use in open areas or against agile foes. The droplets can pierce one enemy, dissipating upon hitting a second one or a solid block. They also dissipate after falling for around 20 tiles.

The Crimson Rod can be obtained by destroying Crimson Hearts found in the Crimson or from and, which are fished in the Crimson.

Tips

 * The Crimson Rod can be good at taking out large groups of enemies, especially during events, such as the Goblin Army or Blood Moon.
 * For maximizing, the arena should be flooded, since liquids slow enemies down, allowing more raindrops to hit them. Note that enemies cannot be slowed down by any means.

Trivia

 * The Crimson Rod is the counterpart to the Corruption's Vilethorn, as the Vilethorn is the magic weapon drop from Shadow Orbs.
