The butterflies targeting a Super Dummy. Notice how the butterflies target the dummy through walls.

The Resurrection Butterfly is a craftable Hardmode summon weapon. Upon use with two or more minion slots, the Resurrection Butterfly 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. If the player has one minion slot remaining, only the pink butterfly will be summoned.

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.
