The Resurrection Butterfly is a craftable Hardmode summon weapon. When used with 2 or more minion slots, it summons a purple and pink butterfly. The purple butterfly will charge into enemies and has a small delay between charges, while the pink butterfly will fire 2 bullets towards enemies every 2-4 seconds that deal 85% of the summon's base damage and last for 3.5 seconds. Although the weapon summons 2 minions per use, each minion only uses 1 minion slot.
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.

Notes
- One pair of butterflies counts as one minion toward the maximum minion count, similar to the Optic Staff.
- The two butterflies do 135% damage to Duke Fishron, and only 75% damage to the Lunatic Cultist and Astrum Deus.
Trivia
- The name of the weapon, "Resurrection Butterfly", and the weapon's tooltip are references to a spell-card used by the character Saigyouji Yuyuko from the Touhou Project series.
- The buff icon is a reference to the Saigyou Ayakashi, a giant cherry blossom tree, while the tooltip references Hakurei Reimu from the same series.
