The Crystalline is a craftable Pre-Hardmode dagger. When used, it throws a gemstone dagger that travels a moderate distance before being affected by gravity. Shortly after being thrown, the dagger splits into 3 weaker copies of itself that are not affected by gravity and disappear shortly after spawning. The main and split daggers cannot pierce or pass through tiles. If the main dagger hits an enemy or a tile before splitting, the extra daggers will not appear.
Performing a stealth strike with the Crystalline causes the resulting dagger copies to split into 3 more short-ranged copies. It also causes all daggers to explode into damaging crystal shards when hitting an enemy or tile. Daggers deal 300% of the weapon's damage, while crystals deal 30% damage.
Its best modifier is Flawless.

Tips
- The Crystalline can be a useful weapon for rogue players in the early game and even up to Skeletron because of the combined damage output of all the daggers.
