Bat Bat (demo)

The Bat Bat being used on a Target Dummy and a Skeleton. Note its healing effect on hitting the skeleton.

The Bat Bat is a pre-Hardmode melee weapon dropped by any type of bat with a 0.4*1/250 (0.4%) chance. On The Constant seed, the drop chance is increased to a 1*1/100 (1%) chance. Hitting an enemy with the Bat Bat always restores 1 health to the user.[1]

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Trivia[]

  • The tooltip is a reference to Walani's examination quote for the Bat Bat in Don't Starve: Shipwrecked.
  • The Bat Bat is one of 3 methods in Terraria to gain lifesteal, the others being the Spectre armor with Hood and the Vampire Knives. Of these, it is the only one that is available pre-Hardmode.
  • The Bat Bat is not only the slowest sword in Terraria, but is also one of the slowest melee weapons in the game, being as slow as a thrown flail.
