Use

This article is about the weapon, for the debuff see Riptide (debuff).

The Riptide is a craftable Pre-Hardmode yoyo. While deployed, the yoyo will occasionally fire a spiral aqua stream in a decrementing angle that deals 100% of the yoyo's damage and pierce up to one enemy.

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

Trivia

• In real life, rip tides are very strong water currents that flow out into the ocean, known for being deadly towards swimmers.
• The weapon was originally going to be named "Whirlpool" but was changed due to conflict with a yoyo of a similar name from the Thorium Mod.
