The Drippler Crippler is a Hardmode flail that has a 1/8 (12.5%) chance of being dropped by Blood Eels. When thrown, it fires a thorny ball from the flail's head, which deals 50% of the weapon's damage (55 base damage). Thorny balls are affected by gravity, can bounce off blocks twice, and pierce two enemies.

Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount. However, Ruthless might be preferred if the player already has very high critical strike chance.

Tips

• This weapon has an exceptionally high base damage for an early Hardmode weapon, making this flail incredibly useful even up to mid-Hardmode.
• Like all flails, the Drippler Crippler is especially effective at clearing out crowds of enemies or damaging enemies with large hitboxes, including The Destroyer.

Trivia

The six segments of the chain.

• The pattern on the chain is always the same and consists of six segments before repeating.
• The ball projectile of the Drippler Crippler resembles its namesake, the Drippler, with the addition of bony spurs to act as the flail's spikes.
• Although its name might suggest it, it does not do bonus damage against Dripplers.
  • Coincidentally, however, its base damage is identical to the Dripper's health in Hardmode on Expert Mode.
• The Drippler Crippler is one of three flails that fire additional projectiles, the others being the Flower Pow and the Flairon. Out of these, the Drippler Crippler is the only one that lacks any kind of automatic targeting.
