Using the Fetid Baghnakhs to attack a Target Dummy. Note the short attack range but high speed and damage output.

The Fetid Baghnakhs are a Hardmode broadsword that have a 1/5 (20%) chance of being dropped by Crimson Mimics. They have a very short range, but an exceptionally high attack speed.

Their best modifier is Legendary.

Notes

• This weapon only receives 25% of melee speed bonuses.
  • Due to truncation, the first % of melee speed will drop the use time by 1, then it will take heavy investment to decrease the use time any further.
• As a weapon that has autoswing and becomes faster through melee speed, the Fetid Baghnakhs will attack 1 tick^[1] faster than its displayed or calculated use time. This occurs after all melee speed calculations are done, but is more notable here than for other weapons due to the weapon's already low base use time.
• The Fetid Baghnakhs can be considered an upgrade to the Bladed Glove.

Tips

• With melee damage-increasing accessories and armor, this item can reach 3000+ DPS. When attacking enemies with multiple segments, such as worms, even 6000+ DPS is possible.
• With a Legendary or other speed increasing modifier, Fetid Baghnakhs begins to swing faster at 1%, 67%, and 161% melee speed thresholds.
• The Baghnakhs' lack of range generally means risking high damage, especially against more resilient enemies. Therefore, it is recommended to have increased invulnerability time (e.g. using a Cross Necklace) and be immune to knockback (using a shield) when using them.
  • Size-increasing modifiers like Large, Massive, Dangerous, and Legendary can make up for the short range.

Trivia

• Bagh nakhs are clawed weapons from India designed to be easily concealed, hence the weapon's small size. The name of the weapon also means "Tiger's Claw" in Hindi, having said to be fashioned after the claws of big cats.
  • The most well-known usage of the weapon was by the first Maratha emperor Shivaji who used a bichuwa and bagh nakh to defeat the Bijapur general Afzal Khan in 1659.
