The Resurrection Butterfly is a craftable Hardmode summon weapon. When used with two or more minion slots, it summons a purple and pink butterfly. The purple butterfly will ram into enemies, while the pink butterfly will fire three petals towards enemies that only deal 50% of the summon's base damage. Although the weapon summons two minions per use, each cast only uses one minion slot.

Its best modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stat bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits. The only lasting advantage a Mythical Resurrection Butterfly has over a Ruthless one is knockback.

Notes

Trivia

  • The name of the weapon, "Resurrection Butterfly", and the weapon's tooltip are references to a spell-card used by the character Saigyouji Yuyuko from the Touhou Project series.
    • The buff icon is a reference to the Saigyou Ayakashi, a giant cherry blossom tree, while the tooltip references Hakurei Reimu from the same series.
