Yanmei's Knife

Yanmei's Knife is a craftable Hardmode classless weapon. When swung, a short-ranged green slash appears in front of the player towards the mouse cursor. Striking a boss or its servants causes the user to gain the Kami Injection buff while the target is inflicted with the Kami Flu debuff. Kami Injection grants the player 15% movement speed and damage, while Kami Flu reduces the enemy’s damage reduction by 20% and depletes 125 health per second.

Affected NPCs
This is a list of NPCs that are vulnerable to the Kami Flu debuff. Striking these will also grant the player the Kami Injection buff.

Tips

 * Due to the weapon's low direct damage and the significant stats of the buff and debuff, Yanmei's Knife should not be used as a primary damage-dealer and instead functions better when used periodically, to refresh the buff and debuff.

Trivia

 * The weapon is a reference to Automaid, a work-in-progress comic series being illustrated and written by the dedicatee. The knife is the signature weapon of the main character, Yanmei, with the Kami buff and debuffs playing a key role in the comic.
 * The tooltip is part of a poem by Piky, one of the beta testers for the mod, written to describe Yanmei:

A voice, a strike of caring humor Sparking dear memories Of sweetened & pure serenity Memories of the Days of Old Yet, profoundly reassuring Her voice calls to the fire Dancing until the break of dawn Of her deeds alone, instilling within her friends A heart of Valor
