Sounds

Explosion

The Meteor Fist is a craftable Pre-Hardmode bomb. When used, it fires a high-velocity rocket fist that leaves a particle trail behind. The rocket fist is slightly affected by gravity and explodes on contact with enemies or tiles. The explosion ignores enemy immunity frames.

Performing a stealth strike with the Meteor Fist will cause the next fist thrown to deal 360% damage, ignore gravity, and bounce between enemies up to four times before exploding. The fists lose 33% damage on each hit.

Its best modifier is Flawless.

Tips

Trivia

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