Notes
- Although Venom bullets have the highest base damage, Ichor bullets inflict the Ichor debuff which lowers enemy's defense by 20 thus dealing up to 10 extra damage along with its base damage of 13
- If a player is aiming for accuracy, the best idea is to use chlorophyte bullets as they home in on enemies.
- Cursed bullets can only be obtained in worlds with the Corruption as they drop from World Feeders and Clingers. Ichor bullets can likewise only be obtained in worlds with Crimson due to Ichor dropping from Ichor Stickers.
