Use

Crystal Piercers are craftable Hardmode javelins. They are spear-like projectiles that pierce indefinitely and inflict the Frostbite debuff on contact. They travel a short distance before being affected by gravity.

Performing a stealth strike with 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.
