Notes
Part of the Flesh Collector Set.

Despite boasting an impressive damage output, beating Etherite up to about 37/95 DEF, as well as having the same range as tiered daggers, the poor projectile speed balances this weapon out.

This can make it much more difficult to hit a fast-moving target; as such, this dagger is recommended to be used against stationary targets to make the most out of it.

However, due to its long lifetime, moving away from a chasing target allows for the effective range of the dagger to be much farther than its stated range, allowing enemies as far as 12 tiles away to be hit when retreating at 75 SPD. This allows for much safer farming of the godlands.

When the entire Flesh Collector set is equipped, the weapon projectile changes to:
Parasitic Blast
