The Pandemic is a Hardmode yoyo that is dropped by The Plaguebringer Goliath. While deployed, it fires plague seekers to enemies within 20 tiles, which first travel a short distance in that direction before homing in on the target; only then can they deal damage. The plague seekers do not pierce or pass through tiles, and they deal 75% of the weapon's damage. Both the yoyo and plague seekers inflict the Plague debuff on hit.

Its best modifier is Godly. It cannot get modifiers that affect size.

Notes

• Plague seekers appear near the yoyo instead of being fired from it directly. If the yoyo is pressed to a wall or is in a tight space, the seekers may disappear immediately.

Trivia

• A pandemic is an event in which a dangerous disease spreads to multiple countries or regions.
