Boomerang

Hit

Hit Bonus

The Fishbone Boomerang is a craftable Pre-Hardmode boomerang. When used, it throws a boomerang which remains airborne up to four seconds. Unlike most boomerangs, it has a brief throwing animation, and it decelerates when it reaches its maximum distance as opposed to turning around instantly. It is capable of piercing infinitely, but returns to the player extremely quickly when it hits a surface or an enemy.

Performing a stealth strike with the Fishbone Boomerang causes the next boomerang thrown to ricochet to another nearby enemy before returning to the player. If no enemies are nearby, it returns to the player as usual.

Its best modifier is Flawless.

Trivia

• If the boomerang hits 10 or more enemies, each hit will create a random sound from the Drum Set. This does not affect the projectile in any other way.
