Sunfury

The Sunfury is a Flail weapon that emits light when thrown, and can also set enemies On Fire!. Like other Flails, it is a ball-and-chain that swings outward, returns when its maximum distance is reached, is largely affected by gravity, and will continue to hang off the player if the attack button is held, causing damage to enemies that touch it. The Sunfury is obtained from Shadow Chests in The Underworld.

Tips

 * The Sunfury is the most damaging "semi-ranged" weapon available prior to Hardmode (though it deals Melee damage) that can pierce through multiple enemies and consumes no Mana or Ammunition.
 * The Sunfury's range, high damage, piercing ability, and lack of any Mana or Ammo cost make it remain useful well into Hardmode.
