Paladin's Hammer

Paladin's Hammer is a Hardmode, post-Plantera boomerang-type melee weapon with extreme velocity and knockback, though with one of the shortest ranges of any boomerang. It pierces an unlimited number of enemies until impacting blocks or reaching its range limit. Paladin's Hammer is a rare drop (2.86%) from Paladins in post-Plantera Dungeon areas with Brick background walls.

As with all modifiable boomerangs, the best Modifier for Paladin's Hammer is Godly.

Tips

 * The infinite piercing of the Paladin's Hammer makes it very effective against multi-segmented enemies, which it can strike multiple times in one pass. It is similarly effective against enemies that fire destroyable projectiles, because the hammer can destroy the projectile and damage the caster in one swing.

Trivia

 * The hammer is a common choice of weapon for paladins in many fantasy games, though they are not often thrown.
 * The hammer's throwing function is similar to Mjölnir, the magical hammer wielded by Norse god Thor, which would return to his hand after being thrown.
