The Marnite Deconstructor is a craftable Pre-Hardmode hammer. When used, it casts a ray similarly to the Laser Drill, gaining a bonus reach of 7 tiles. The hammer has an innate 10 armor penetration.

Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase its average damage output by the same amount. Mechanical tools can only have universal prefixes, because they cannot have their speed modified.

Notes

Due to its long range (for a true melee weapon), fast hit rate, and high armor penetration, the Deconstructor can serve as a passable early game weapon. It may be able to outdamage even the Silver and Tungsten Broadswords against higher defense targets, and its reach is far greater than that of the Gold and Platinum Broadswords.
- Furthermore, its attack range can be boosted by increases to tool range, such as the Extendo Grip.

Trivia

Marnite is a portmanteau of the words marble and granite, which is what the tool is made of.
