| Flask of Ichor | 1 × Bottled Water, 2 × Ichor | Imbuing Station |
Brewing crimson ichor into armor-shredding weapon oils
Concocted at an Imbuing Station from a Bottled Water and 2 Ichor droplets, this flask confers the Weapon Imbue: Ichor buff for 20 minutes. Connecting with melee weapons or whips inflicts the Ichor debuff onto targets, softening tough enemy hides.
Defense reduction mechanics across boss encounter strategies
The Ichor debuff strips 15 defense from targets, amplifying incoming damage from all offensive attacks. Because each point of defense mitigates damage, stripping 15 defense noticeably boosts damage from rapid-firing weapons and minion swarms against armored bosses like Skeletron Prime, Plantera, and Golem. It remains a staple offensive preparation for melee fighters and summoners through the endgame lunar events.
Trivia
- Reduces target defense by 15 points, substantially increasing damage dealt by all strikes.
- Lasts for 20 minutes, persisting through player deaths during boss combat.
