The Dryad in the midst of her blessing.
A Larger view of Dryad's Blessing.
Dryad's Blessing is a buff granted through the Dryad's NPC action. Rather than attacking nearby enemies, the Dryad casts a shield of leaves while enemies are near.
All players and NPCs will gain the following effects while within the range of the Dryad's ability:
- +8 Defense to players and +6 / +10 / +14 Defense to NPCs[1]
- +50% Thorns effect to players (50% damage reflected onto attacker, stackable with Thorns buff only) and +33.33% Thorns effect to NPCs[2]
- +3 Health per second regeneration rate to players and +3.33 Health per second to NPCs[3]
- Visual effect: Green sparkle trail from feet while moving
Enemies are afflicted with the Dryad's Bane debuff, which applies 4 damage per-second to enemies within the Dryad's leaf field. This debuff deals additional damage based on players' progression through the current world; see NPCs#Stat boosts for the specific details of these progression boosts. Additionally, the total progression boost is multiplied by a game mode-specific multiplier: 1.0× / 1.5× / 1.75×. So if, for example, the current progression boost is +40% total and the world is in Expert Mode, the Dryad's Bane damage is actually raised by (1.4 × 1.5) = 2.1 = +110%. The final damage rate is rounded down, so e.g. 4 damage per second × 2.7 = 10.8, rounded down to 10.[4]
- With no bosses defeated, the total damage rate is 4 / 6 / 7 DPS.
- With all bosses defeated, the total damage rate is 10 / 16 / 18 DPS.

Notes[]
- The buff stacks with the Thorns buff, but not with the thorns effect from the Turtle armor set bonus, which overrides it.
- On the
Desktop version, Console version, Mobile version, and Nintendo Switch version, this buff is overridden by the Thorns buff, but it does stack with Cactus armor's set bonus. - The reflected damage is capped at 1000.
Trivia[]
- The tooltip of Dryad's Bane is based on the phrase, "The power of Christ compels you!" from the classic film The Exorcist.

- ↑ NPC HP regeneration is much simpler than player HP regeneration: Town NPCs have a single regen counter which increases at a fixed rate every tick (i.e. 60 times per second) while the NPC is not at max health; once the counter reaches or passes 180, the NPC gains 1 health and the counter resets to zero. The rate at which the counter increases is 1 per tick normally, or 11 per tick with Dryad's Blessing. Information taken from the Desktop 1.4.0.5 source code, method
