Advanced Combat Techniques

Advanced Combat Techniques is a consumable item obtained by fishing during a Blood Moon. It can only be used once per world, and others cannot be fished up once one has already been used. However, multiple copies can be obtained until the first is used.

On use, it permanently increases the defense of Town NPCs by 6 and attack damage by 20%, similar to the increases after each type of boss is defeated.

When used, the status message "" is displayed.

Tips

 * It is recommended to fish for this item in pre-hardmode due to the lack of extremely dangerous enemies such as the Dreadnautilus; however, the Zombie Merman can spawn, and it is a strong enemy at this stage.
