The Crimson Crusher Blade is a craftable Pre-Hardmode broadsword. When swung, it emits faint blood particles and inflicts the Ichor debuff upon striking enemies. While no bosses are alive, critical strikes caused by this weapon reduce the target's base contact damage by 5.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Notes

• The amount of contact damage reduction will scale with difficulty.
  • For example, Great Sand Shark has a 60% scaling factor in Expert Mode and 15% scaling factor in Revengeance Mode. Therefore, the amount of damage decrease will equal to 5 / 8 / 9.
• Enemies with 5 or less contact damage can only be reduced up to 1 instead of nullifying damage completely.
• It is considered a good early game weapon due to its high damage and low crafting cost.
• It is the Crimson counterpart to the Corrupted Crusher Blade.

Trivia

• Despite the Corrupted Crusher Blade emitting light while swung, the Crimson Crusher Blade does not.
