The Aorta is a craftable Pre-Hardmode yoyo that is also dropped by The Perforators. If the yoyo is within the range of 16 tiles near an enemy, it will fire a blood clot that deals 25% of the main throw's damage but does not pierce. Both the yoyo and blood clots inflict the Burning Blood debuff on contact.

Its best modifier is Godly. It cannot get modifiers that affect size.

Notes

• Much like the Air Spinner, this yoyo is especially nimble and can move very quickly while in use.
• This weapon does not have a Corruption variant.

Trivia

• It shares its name with the aorta, which is the largest artery in the body.
