Wicked Claws

Whip autoswing and dual-stat Tinkerer fusion

Crafted at the Tinkerer's Workshop by combining a Wicked Armlet with Feral Claws, Wicked Claws combine summoner utility with melee tempo. Equipping this accessory increases the maximum number of active summon tag effects by 1, adds +1 whip knockback, provides +12% melee speed, and enables autoswing for all melee weapons and whips across all combat encounters.

Hybrid whip tempo and boss encounter rotations

By merging autoswing, attack speed, and tag capacity expansion into a single accessory, Wicked Claws streamline rapid whip-stacking during high-intensity boss encounters. Summoners can cycle between whips like Durendal and Kaleidoscope without losing momentum or suffering finger fatigue during drawn-out fights. The added attack speed accelerates whip deployment and minion buff refresh cycles across the battlefield. Reforging to Violent grants an additional +4% melee speed (+16% total), while Menacing boosts minion tag and strike damage across dangerous battle arenas.

Trivia

• Introduced in Terraria 1.4.5 as a dedicated summoner-oriented branch of the Feral Claws upgrade family for whip specialists.
• Enabling autoswing allows continuous whip swinging simply by holding down the attack button.
