Ichor Arrows in action.

The Ichor Arrow is a Hardmode arrow that inflicts the Ichor debuff for 10 seconds (15 seconds in PvP). It can be considered the Crimson counterpart to Cursed Arrows, which inflict the Cursed Inferno debuff.

Tips

The Ichor debuff, which reduces defense by 15, can actually amplify the damage of the arrows themselves against an afflicted enemy. This is very helpful for killing bosses like The Twins and Duke Fishron.
- Note that some enemies are immune to the debuff, in which case the arrows will deal their normal damage (along with armor/weapon bonuses) only.
The crafting ingredient Ichor can be difficult to obtain in early Hardmode due to increased difficulty. Hellfire Arrows are helpful for early farming.
