Artery

Crimtane bar smithing and string spinning

Forged at an anvil using ten Crimtane Bar ingots, the Artery is a dedicated early-game crimson yoyo. Deployed with a Fast throw, it spins at string length for around six seconds before automatically retracting, dealing 17 base melee damage and 4 knockback per contact hit. Its controlled flight path allows melee players to safely dispatch aggressive beasts from behind protective barricades or around tight subterranean cavern bends.

Evil biome yoyo rating and combat pairing

The Artery slightly outperforms its Corruption equivalent, the Malaise, in base striking power, and comfortably surpasses early wooden yo-yos and the subterranean Rally. Pairing it with utility accessories like string extensions and counterweights improves its combat coverage against flying cave bats and swarming creepers. Because yoyos cannot roll modifiers that alter weapon size or attack speed, Godly and Demonic are the premier reforges to enhance raw damage, knockback, and critical strike potential.

Trivia

• The Artery can remain extended spinning on its string for up to six seconds continuously.
• It was created in collaboration with One Drop Yoyos, a real-world yo-yo manufacturer.
