Explosion

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.

Notes

• The explosion generated by sword hits deals exactly 100% of the weapon's base damage, cannot critically strike, does not damage nearby targets, and cannot be modified by any means.
  • This effect, along with its visuals, is identical to the Ultimus Cleaver.
• In the Get fixed boi seed, Hellkite is tier-shifted to post-Devourer of Gods. The following changes are applied:
  • Uses a Titanium Sword and 12 Nightmare Fuel in its recipe instead of a Volcano and 8 Perennial Bars.
  • Requires a Cosmic Anvil to craft instead of a Mythril Anvil.
  • Damage buffed from 180 to 1669.
  • Knockback buffed from 8 to 12.
  • Use time buffed from 30 to 12.
  • Gains a 150% size modifier.
  • Plays the Wulfrum Screwdriver's hitsound on enemy hits instead of exploding and inflicting Hellfire.
  • The weapon's tooltip is replaced with "My Beloved <3".

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.
