Elf Melter



The Elf Melter is a Hardmode ranged weapon dropped by Santa-NK1 during the Frost Moon. It is an indirect post-Plantera upgrade to the Flamethrower. Similar to its predecessor, one press of the button fires several successive streams of flame, each of which inflicts the On Fire! debuff. The Elf Melter consumes two Gel per use.

When an enemy is pierced by the projectile, a 15% damage penalty is applied to the next enemy hit by the projectile.

A modifier granting +10% speed will increase the number of flame streams per click from six to seven while still consuming 2 Gel. A modifier with added velocity will increase the range of each stream, i.e. by about 5 blocks for +15% and about 3 blocks for +10%.
