Aside from Water Candle, certain potions like the Battle Potion are indispensable for getting rare items or equipment.
In this guide, you’ll learn everything about the item in detail and how to acquire one.
Battle Potion – Overview
The Battle Potion is a buff potion type that gives the Battle buff:
- 2x spawn rate for both enemies and critters.
- 2x on-screen enemies at once.
Its effects have a 7-minute duration, although you can cancel it by clicking the icon (upon consumption).
Because of the Battle Potion’s effects, farming rare items during Blood Moon and Solar Eclipse, for example, becomes easier. Goblin Tinkerer, Mechanic, Skeleton Merchant, and Wizard also have higher spawn rates after applying the effect.
On a side note, be wary when using the consumable and entering Dungeons, as the enemies’ spawn rate can be overwhelming. The same idea applies while battling a Boss since you’ll want to complete the process quickly.
Battle Potion functions similarly to the Water Candle, providing increased spawn rates. On the other hand, Sunflowers and Calming Potions balance the effect. The latter is also the Battle Potion’s counterpart. However, both potions are buff, while the Water Candle is a debuff.
Note: Using the Battle Potion during Pumpkin Moon or Frost Moon won’t increase the spawn rates of rare enemies and critters.
How to Get a Battle Potion?
At either a Placed Bottle or Alchemy Table (crafting stations), you can make a Battle Potion with the following items:
- Bottled Water (1)
- Deathweed (1)
- Rotten Chunk (1) or Vertebra (1)
