Imbuing Confusion and Nanite Power
The Flask of Nanites is brewed at an Imbuing Station by mixing a Bottled Water with 5 units of Nanites. Nanites become purchasable from the Cyborg for 15 silver each once Plantera has been defeated. Drinking the flask grants the Weapon Imbue: Nanites buff for 20 minutes, applying to both melee weapons and summoner whips.
Hardmode Crowd Control and Invasions
Striking hostile targets with an active nanite imbue inflicts the Confused debuff for 2 to 5 seconds, causing affected enemies to turn around and flee, while also granting 5% extra damage on attacks. Although major bosses resist the Confused condition, the passive 5% bonus still connects, and the crowd control excels during intense swarms in the post-Plantera Dungeon, Solar Eclipse, and Pumpkin Moon events.
Trivia
- This is one of the only weapon imbues in the game that directly provides an offensive damage boost on top of inflicting a status ailment.
