How to quickly "evict" NPCs A.K.A. the Assassin Build

Say, you need to kill an NPC for whatever reason. Maybe to get their unique weapon. Maybe for Andrew/Jim to show up for their sweet caps. Maybe the Goblin or the Angler has gotten on your nerves more than once.

With the introduction of the Flymeal, murder have never been easier. No longer do you have to build complex contraptions to get them out of your house. No more throwing a bajillion eggs hoping they would die on the bajillion+1th one.

But don't you think you can evict them a little bit more... efficiently? After all, wacking them 6 times may be annoying and time-consuming with the knockback. And the Nurse is a little *too* good at her job and heals herself too much.

Introducing the Assassin build where you can kill NPCs with one strike.
SInce Flymeal is a melee weapon, It's affected by several items that give Damage over Time debuffs, like Frost Armor, Magma Stone and flasks. All of them stack. The best damage over time debuff is Venom. You also need to be able to outdamage the Nurse's healing if you decided to go after her for whatever reason.

This is the final build.
Weapon: (Legendary) Flymeal
Armor: Frost Helmet/Frost Breastplate/Frost Leggings
Accessory: (Menacing) Fire Gauntlet, Warrior Emblem, Avenger Emblem, Mechanical Glove
Buffs: Flask of Venom

For most NPCs, just the 3 debuffs should be enough. The Nurse has insane healing and that's where the other damage accessories comes from. She will still take a while for the debuff to take effect, but one hit is still enough to force her to leave.

Let me know if there are an even more efficient way to do without having to build. Or do the voodoo doll trick, that's too random (and unethical).
