Use

The Baleful Harvester is a craftable Hardmode broadsword. Upon striking enemies with the blade, homing pumpkins and fiery orange skulls will spawn off-screen and attack enemies in the same fashion as The Horseman's Blade. Both projectiles deal 150% of the weapon's base damage and 50% knockback and skulls split into 2 homing fire orbs which each deal 50% of the weapon's base damage. The sword, the skulls and their fire orbs inflict the Hellfire debuff.

Its best modifier is Legendary.
