The Virulence is a Hardmode broadsword that autoswings and is dropped by The Plaguebringer Goliath. When swung, it fires a fast-traveling plague wave towards the cursor's position, which dissipates when it travels at least 37 tiles. The plague wave deals 85% of the weapon's base damage, pierces infinitely and passes through tiles. The sword and waves inflict the Plague debuff.
Its best modifier is Legendary.
