Bloodstained Pike

The Bloodstained Pike in use.

The Bloodstained Pike is a craftable Hardmode spear. When held out, if the pike is charged into weak enemies, it will skewer them and hold them onto the pike. If 5 enemies are skewered at once or less than 5 are skewered for a certain amount of time, all skewered enemies will be killed and the pike will become enchanted for 10 seconds, flying close to the player and rapidly dashng at nearby enemies. While in the enchanted state, the pike gains double damage and cannot be used normally. The enchanted pike will persist even if the player switches to another weapon.

Its best modifier is Godly.

Notes

• The pike will take less time to become enchanted with more enemies skewered onto it. It takes 10 seconds with 1 enemy, 5 seconds with 2, 3.33 seconds with 3, and 2.5 seconds with 4.
• Skewering does not work on enemies at more than 500 or 10% of their current health, enemies with a height or width larger than 100 pixels, and enemies immune to knockback and/or damage.

Tips

• Skewered enemies can still fire projectiles at the player, likely causing them to take damage.
