Weakness protection and evil biome monsters
Obtained as a 1% drop in Classic mode or 2% in Expert mode from Corruptor in the Corruption and Floaty Gross in the Crimson, Vitamins grant total immunity to the Weak debuff. The Weak debuff penalizes players by reducing physical defense, melee attack speed, and melee damage during skirmishes. At the Tinkerer's Workshop, combining Vitamins with Armor Polish produces Armor Bracing.
Stat stabilization and defensive assembly milestone
Negating the Weakness status preserves full armor ratings and swing speeds during prolonged skirmishes in underground evil chasms and cavern shafts. This item constitutes an essential component for the Ankh Shield, where Armor Bracing joins other defensive accessories into the Ankh Charm. While held or equipped during early Hardmode progression, reforging to Warding gives an extra +4 defense, whereas Menacing provides +4% damage to defeat resilient cavern foes and biome horrors.
Trivia
- The sprite depicts a brown medicine bottle filled with pharmaceutical tablets and dietary supplements.
- Underground mob farms built in the Cavern layer with corrupt or crimson blocks provide steady spawns of Corruptors or Floaty Gross.
