Terraria (Wiki): Blood Butcherer
Everything you need to know
General Information
The Blood Butcherer is a broadsword that deals damage to enemies, inflicting the Butchered debuff (100%) for 9s causing enemies to visibly bleed (desktop, mobile, console). Similar to the Tentacle Spike or Bone Javelin, the debuff can stack up to five times with repeated attacks for 20/s. If the Blood and Gore option is disabled, the debuff's blood gouts will be replaced by clouds (desktop, mobile, console).
The Blood Butcherer, like all other broadswords, has limited range and moves in an arc motion. Combat-wise, the Blood Butcherer is effective against monsters, slimes, jumping zombies, and flying enemies due to its higher damage output and higher range than the Light's Bane. It is one of the key components in crafting the Night's Edge.
The "Blood Butchered" debuff replaces the "Distorted" icon as it cannot be inflicted on players (desktop, mobile, console).
The Blood Butcherer is best modified with Legendary to improve all stats.
