Scourge of the corruptor

The Scourge of the Corruptor is a weapon always found inside of the Corruption Chest (in the Dungeon), which in turn is unlocked with a Corruption Key. When used, it fires a fast projectile dealing the weapon's full damage, which will split into 2-3 small "eaters" on impact against a solid block or an enemy. The eaters have homing capabilites, an apparently unlimited flight time, can bounce off walls up to 5 times before disappearing, and deal approximately half of the weapon's damage each. Using the Scourge costs neither mana nor ammunition, and both the main projectile and the eaters are unaffected by gravity. The latter have almost no knockback, but in great numbers can keep enemies "locked" in place.

As a result of its characteristics, this weapon is a lot stronger than it would seem from its stats alone: even if the player has bad aim, this weapon can quickly create a swarm of homing projectiles at no cost. However, the eaters' homing capabilities do not include pathing around obstacles, so the Scourge is best used in relatively open areas.
