Shadowflame Knife



The Shadowflame Knife is a Hardmode melee weapon that auto-fires small flaming knife projectiles that consume no mana or ammunition. The projectiles ricochet twice off of enemies only (not blocks), dissipating upon their third impact. They also inflict the Shadowflame debuff for between 1 and 3 seconds, which deals an additional 15 damage per second. The Shadowflame Knife has a /  chance to drop from a Goblin Summoner during a Hardmode Goblin Invasion.

Tips

 * The effects of the Shadowflame debuff will stack with those of On Fire!, Cursed Inferno, and Frostburn. Using the Shadowflame Knife with a Magma Stone or one of its upgrades, Frost armor, and a Flask of Cursed Flames, facilitates inflicting all of those at once.
 * The Shadowflame Knife can be considered a melee alternative to the Magic Dagger. It has similar stats, costs no mana, has autoswing and flies faster than it. Although it does not pierce, its ability to ricochet can make up for it.
 * This weapon is a good option for melee players in early-to-mid Hardmode. It can be acquired immediately from a Goblin Army and its versatility as an unlimited projectile along with its debuff makes it extremely useful against Hardmode enemies and even the mechanical bosses, particularly The Destroyer.
