Explosion

The Impaler was a craftable Hardmode repeater that was a direct upgrade to the Stake Launcher. When used, it rapidly fired fire stakes with a 33.33% chance to fire an exploding stake instead. Exploding stakes pierced 7 enemies and caused explosions on hit, while fire stakes pierced 9 enemies and inflicted the On Fire! debuff. Instead of having bonus damage against Vampires like the Stake Launcher, the Impaler would instantly kill Vampires.

Its best modifier was Unreal.
