Use
The Crystal Piercer is a craftable Hardmode javelin. When used, it throws a crystal javelin that pierces infinitely and inflicts the Frostbite debuff. It travels a short distance before being affected by gravity.
Performing a stealth strike with the Crystal Piercer causes the resulting javelin to fly through tiles, completely ignore gravity, and summon crystal shards alongside itself as it flies which deal 70% of the javelin's damage.
The Crystal Piercer cannot be reforged, and therefore cannot have modifiers.
