Needletick

The  is a void item in Risk of Rain 2, added in the Survivors of the Void expansion, and the corrupted version of the.

On hit, it gives a 10% (+10% per stack) chance to inflict on the target (which is multiplied by the hit's proc coefficient). 3 seconds after Collapse is first applied to a target, the effect will trigger, removing all stacks of Collapse on the target and dealing 400% damage per stack removed.

Tips

 * The corruption of Tri-Tip Daggers is inconsequential if the player has a high critical strike chance paired with the Shatterspleen, effectively allowing for both debuffs from Tri-Tip Daggers and Needleticks to apply simultaneously.
 * One stack of Bleed deals a total of 240% base damage over 3 seconds, while one stack of Collapse deals 400% base damage after 3 seconds. While this may make Collapse appear strictly better on paper, it is worth considering how these debuffs behave when a new stack is inflicted: all stacks of Bleed have their durations refreshed when an additional new stack is inflicted, while all Collapse stacks expire at once after the 3-second countdown begins.
 * As a result, if the player has enough Tri-Tip Daggers and hit rate to repeatedly reset Bleed stacks, Bleed will outperform Collapse, especially in long fights. However, the Needletick is still useful at low stacks when resetting Bleed would be unlikely, or for Survivors with very low hit rate (although such Survivors might benefit more from scrapping Tri-Tip Daggers altogether).
 * If the player has a Shatterspleen, the Tri-Tip Dagger becomes redundant with sufficient critical strike chance. In this case, corrupting them into Needleticks is highly worthwhile, as both Bleed and Collapse can be inflicted.
