The Glaive is a Pre-Hardmode rogue boomerang that is sold by the Bandit for 9 . When used, it throws up to 3 boomerangs with each boomerang returning to the player after hitting four enemies or traveling a certain distance.

Performing a stealth strike with the Glaive will cause the next boomerang thrown to travel 80% faster and not bounce off of enemies.

Its best modifier is Flawless.

Trivia

• This item may be a reference to the Bloons Tower Defense game series, in which Boomerang Monkeys can be upgraded to instead throw glaives with greater piercing ability.
  • This in turn was likely a reference to the movie Krull, which popularized the depiction of glaives as five-pointed bladed thrown weapons, despite historical glaives being polearms.
