The Hellkite is a craftable Hardmode broadsword that autoswings and is the direct upgrade to the Volcano. It is larger than most other swords of its tier, and upon hitting an enemy it inflicts the Hellfire debuff and summons a damaging geyser of flame on top of each target struck, dealing additional damage.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Trivia

  • The word "hellkite" refers to a fiercely cruel person.
    • This weapon may be named after the Hellkite Dragon miniboss from the game Dark Souls, or the Hellkite breed of dragons from the game Magic: The Gathering.
