Is this the most overrated weapon in Terraria? The Vampire Knives. In this video, I take a look at this post-plantera life stealing melee weapon which can be obtained from the Crimson Chest in the Dungeon. It has a history of been one of the most powerful weapons in the game, does this still stand in Terraria 1.4?

0:20 Correction: Obviously the Vampire Knives are POST Plantera
If they were actually Pre-Plantera, I'd happily say they are underrated lmao
Pre plantera??? Have to kill domi mommi just to open the chests
Meanwhile in another world… https://youtu.be/DwXfK-IvjDo
healing is healing. i have in tank setups more often than not used the weapon against moon lord
2 hearts per second is still kind of absurd. Checking the wiki, it seems to be about 30 HP per second on Expert. Even for the squishiest classes on Master Mode, you won't be taking more than about 130-170 damage per hit. (Tested against Moon Lord as a Tiki Armor summoner; albeit, Moon Lord has that anti-lifesteal effect, which is a good case against the Knives.) Vampire Knives would let you get away with one of those hits every 5.5 seconds in the worst case. (For context, Super Healing Potions let you get away with about 1.17 of those 170-damage hits per *minute*. The Knives have about 12x better healing than the best healing potions in the game.)
Honestly, the main case I'd make against the Vampire Knives is their limited usable duration. It won't do much against the Moon Lord, so it'll mostly just help for the Pillars and possibly the Moons and Martians, and even then you could skip the knives and go straight to something that can be used against the final boss.
It's not overrated, not at all. It is completely justified. But some of the other weapons are underrated.
Vampire knives in classic mode are just broken against bosses lol, with an ok armour (any class), you can just stand still and attack at the boss and you WILL NOT die, and works for any pre-golem boss (himself included). Everywhere else, they are just a nice survivability tool. Nothing broken, but nothing bad either
I just find it funny how you can just kill any of these bosses with any class by doing absolutely nothing lmao
before the nerf it was an endgame weapon ☹
I never really felt like I needed a life stealing weapon as a melee user considering how easily it is to get a regeneration build and the frequency of dropped hearts from enemies. Keeping the Hand of Creation equipped or a heartreach potion is plenty
Dude, I remember the times when everyone was using them
It bothers me that an artificial biome can still drop a key; even if your world generated without that biome chest.
Using shimmer let's you get the chest but not the loot…
They used to be SO op and we all haven’t really processed the changes and we all still feel if not think that it’s still op
When you use vamp knives you just turn into dio
Hard to get? Yes, underrated? Damn, definitely not.
For any one currently farming Keys you can farm King slime with each slime having a chance to drop a key
Its a bad primary but great secondary
2 hz per second is just 2 hertz^2 aka 2 per second^(squared)
Vampire knives and Spectre Armor got neutered badly. I remember when they were super busted.
I remember one time I was making a crimson afk farm and the crimson key dropped lol
Hard disagree, I literally tanked like fifteen bosses at once on a large server, including a Betsy with an insane amount of health (it was me and one other person in the server's arena, the other person barely did anything as they kept dying) and I killed the bosses using only the vampire knives. Very powerful regardless of the nerf imo
i know for sure corruption variant of rhis is much better, but i still always choose crimson on melee playthroughs
really? i got 3 hallow keys in 10 mins
