Sounds

Use

Explosion

The Meteor Fist is a craftable Pre-Hardmode bomb that fires a high-velocity projectile which leaves a particle trail behind. The projectile is slightly affected by gravity, and explodes on contact with enemies or solid blocks. The explosion ignores enemy immunity frames.

Performing a stealth strike with the Meteor Fist will cause the next fist thrown to ignore gravity, and bounce between enemies up to four times before exploding.

Its best modifier is Flawless.

Trivia

• This weapon formerly inflicted melee damage.
• The weapon's projectile is named "Meteor Fist Gud For A Lot Of Shtuff".
