Wither Cloak Sword

 is a weapon released in The Catacombs - Floor VII. It has and. Due to the stat present on the sword and Creeper Veil's damage negation ability, this weapon is recommended for Tanks within Dungeons. However, the sword's ability "Creeper Veil" may be useful for utility throughout the rest of the game, as it functions as a permanent damage over time area of effect ability if given the correct circumstances.

Creeper Veil
Creeper Veil is the Wither Cloak Sword's active ability. Right-clicking with the sword in the player's hand toggles the ability. The ability can be turned on with zero, despite this item having a cost. While the ability is enabled, the player is unable to attack using melee or abilities. If a player changes their held item, the ability will persist. Bows will still shoot and spells can still be cast while Creeper Veil is active. The ability will persist even if the sword leaves the player's inventory.

Toggling the ability on will summon six lightning-charged invisible Creepers around the player. Enemies standing within a small range of the creepers will take a tick of damage every second. Some interactions with other players can kill the creepers from this effect; this is purely a visual bug, and the damage continues to tick regardless.

When the player is hit by an enemy for any amount of damage, the ability will drain of a player's maximum. If the player doesn't have enough for the damage reduction, the ability will automatically toggle off.

The damage on the ability is. It is affected by Giant Killer when a sword with it is held and the Warrior perk of the skill.
