melee flasks questions

[Stonemyst]

1. if i use the ichor melee flask will my minions/sentrys do more damage aswell?

2. what are the best melee flasks to use?

[yuri lover]

1: No, i'm pretty sure it only effects your melee weapons.

2: I'd probaly say anything that inflicts a powerful debuff but is also not commonly resisted in enemies, such as ichor or cursed flames

thank for making this discussion. it helps people

1. No

2. Fire is good for cave exploration, as your pickaxe will emit fire particles, which create light. Ichor is great for bosses as the debuff causes less defense and therefore more damage. Venom is great for grinding/invasions as the enemies constantly take damage, which allows you to prioritize the most important enemies.

for pvp use confetti flask. it distracts rookie players.

For the first question, yes, but not directly. It would cause only your melee weapons to inflict Ichor, which would drop enemies defense, which in turn, would cause your minions and sentries to do more damage. AS for the second one, I personally prefer Ichor or Cursed Flames.

1. To enemies you have hit with your melee weapon in the last 15 seconds, yes, the debuff removes 20 defense from the target. for instance it takes Skeletron Prime's head from 24 defense to just 4.

2. Ichor's always handy, Gold can also also be useful for the extra cash if you don't need the damage.

[hehe]

1. Nope,only melee.

2. I like Venom and Ichor, but sometimes to play around I do Confetti.

yea for the first part of my question guess i should of used better wording. Yea say i am useing Vampire Knives on my summoner and i apply the ichor debuff with them. Will my minions/sentrys do extra damage because it has the ichor debuff?

1. Targets that are inflicted with Ichor have a lower defense, so if you apply it with your melee weapons, your minions/sentries will deal more damage to those targets.

2. Many people prefer Ichor, because it reduces enemies' defense, but Venom and Cursed Flames are also good for constant damage, in case you can't constantly hit the target, or simply want the enemy's health to constantly drain. I don't recommend using Confetti, Fire, or Poison. Poison works on most enemies, but if possible you should us Venom instead. Confetti has no effect, aside from creating confetti, which can lag your game. Fire isn't very effective against most hardmode enemies, as it deals damage very slowly (~1dmg/1sec) and many hardmode enemies aren't even effected by it.
