Use

Not to be confused with Scourge of the Seas, a visually similar javelin dropped by the Aquatic Scourge.

The Wave Skipper is a craftable Hardmode javelin that is an upgraded version of the Scourge of the Desert. When used it will throw a Wave Skipper that will bounce five times before disappearing.

Performing a stealth strike with the Wave Skipper will cause three javelins to be thrown instead of one. The three javelins have slightly higher velocity.

Its best modifier is Flawless.
