Stats by game mode

	Classic	Expert	Master	Legendary (For the Worthy)
Life	45	90	135	180
Attack	10	20	30	53
Defense	6	6	6	6
Knockback Taken	0% (None)	0% (None)	0% (None)	0% (None)
Coins	60	1 50	1 50	2 10

The last column is Master mode in a world made with the For the Worthy seed. Its numbers were measured in the game, not computed here.

For one player in a world before Hardmode. Expert and Master scale life, attack, knockback and coins by the game's own multipliers.

Coins: each kill rolls the coins from 80% to 175% of this value, then rarer extra rolls can add more.

In a Hardmode world

On Expert and Master, a Hardmode world raises weak enemies: when attack plus defense plus a quarter of life is under 80 (100 after Plantera), the game multiplies them up.

World	Life	Attack	Defense	Knockback Taken	Coins
Expert, In Hardmode	198	36	12	0% (None)	2 40
Master, In Hardmode	297	54	12	0% (None)	2 40
Legendary, In Hardmode	396	96	12	0% (None)	3 36

Chance is per kill. Kills for 50% and 90% is how many kills give that chance to see the item at least once.
