The Baron’s Tusk is a hardmode sword dropped by Banished Baron that, when swung, fires 3 Tusk Sharpnel projectiles which travel in an arc and stick to enemies. If an enemy has 15 or more shrapnel stuck to it, it will start to bleed. Striking it with the blade when bleeding will cause all the shrapnel to rip out and fly off the enemy, dealing massive damage. This hit is guaranteed to critically strike and deals more damage when more shrapnel is stuck, with a minimum of 950% of the weapon’s damage when 15 shrapnels are stuck. Additionally, the shrapnel will deal damage to other enemies when flying off, but it won't deal damage to the original enemy, nor can it stick to other enemies. Shrapnel will also fly off an enemy if it dies.

Its best modifier is Legendary.
