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 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

 * With good boosts and modifiers, it can reach or exceed 245 damage.
 * Its infinite pierce ability makes it very effective against The Destroyer.
 * Effective against enemies that fire destroyable projectiles, eg. Corruptors, because the hammer can destroy the projectile and damage the caster in one swing.
 * Effective in PvP.

Trivia

 * The hammer is a common choice of weapon for paladins in many fantasy games. In most cases however, hammers aren't throwing weapons, nor do they function like boomerangs without the aid of magic. Its function does however resemble Mjölnir, the magical hammer wielded by Norse god Thor, which would return to his hand after being thrown.

It also could be a reference to the Paladin of Diablo 2, which has a skill called "Blessed Hammer" in which a golden hammer is thrown and circles around the character, destroying everything in it's path.
