Use

The Turbulance is a craftable Pre-Hardmode non-consumable javelin. When used, it throws a javelin that releases four wind slashes in random directions on collision with enemies or blocks. If the player performs a critical strike on the javelin itself, the wind slashes home on nearby enemies and last for 3 seconds. Wind slashes deal 1/3 of the weapon's damage and do not pierce or pass through tiles.

Performing a stealth strike with the Turbulance will cause the next javelin thrown to periodically release trails of homing wind slashes as it travels.

Its best modifier is Flawless.

Tips

• Since the stealth strike will release wind slashes as long as it travels, it can be advantageous to deliberately miss as opposed to hitting the enemy directly.
• The stealth strikes for this weapon can cause significantly more damage than the spam alternative, being one of the strongest DPS options for this stage of the game.

Trivia

• Its name is a portmanteau of the words 'turbulence', which is a period of irregular air motion; and 'lance', a type of pole arm.
