Crossed Heart Necklace

Impact acceleration and prolonged invulnerability frames

Assembled at a Tinkerer's Workshop by uniting a Panic Necklace with a Cross Necklace, this necklace aids defensive recovery after sustaining hits. It doubles post-damage invulnerability time from 0.67 seconds to 1.33 seconds. Furthermore, it triggers the Panic buff for 5 seconds whenever the player takes damage, doubling running speed to facilitate a swift retreat away from hostile swarms in dangerous subterranean zones.

Boss evasion synergy and defensive build integration

This item protects players against multi-hit boss attacks from The Destroyer and Plantera. The burst of speed allows players to flee from dense projectile clusters before invulnerability expires, preventing lethal chain hits. It merges Crimson exploration rewards with Hardmode Mimic loot into a single defensive slot. Warding provides 4 additional defense, while Quick elevates base sprint speed even further across wide combat arenas. Pairing it with high defense armor creates a durable cushion against contact damage.

Trivia

• The Panic speed boost activates even if incoming damage is reduced by shields or armor.
• Doubling invincibility frames reduces rapid consecutive hits from boss laser volleys and contact attacks.
