Anchor


 * Not to be confused with the Wall Anchor decoration.

The Anchor is a Hardmode melee weapon that fires an anchor projectile that remains attached to the player via a chain. It is heavily affected by gravity, firing in an arc. It returns upon reaching a maximum distance or impacting, and damages any enemies in its return path. It functions similarly to the Harpoon. The Anchor is found in Wooden Crates and from Fishing, after the Wall of Flesh has been defeated.

Its best Modifier is Godly.

Tips

 * Since the projectile itself is quite large, and its return trip can pierce unlimited enemies, throwing it past a group of enemies and pulling it through them is an effective strategy, making the Anchor very useful for controlling large groups of enemies.
 * It is possible to receive it as a reward from the Angler pre-hardmode on mobile.
