Blazing Wheel

The Blazing Wheel is an indestructible enemy found in the Dungeon. It resembles a firey circular saw blade, traveling along the walls and floors of the Dungeon. Blazing Wheels move quicker than most Dungeon enemies and produce light. They appear only in pre-Hardmode Dungeons, and in Hardmode Dungeon areas that have a Tiled Wall background.

Similar to the Spike Ball, another Dungeon enemy, the Blazing Wheel doesn't take damage from ordinary attacks, but can be damaged and killed by the Thorns buff or by Lava in its path.

Blazing Wheels are immune to the Poisoned, On Fire!, and Cursed Inferno debuffs.

Movement

 * They spawn and despawn off-screen, like any other enemy.
 * They will go through open doors, but not through closed doors.
 * They travel through Platforms, not along them.
 * If you remove all of the blocks the Blazing Wheel is spinning on, it will fly towards the nearest wall.
 * If you surround a Blazing Wheel with blocks until there are only 2-3 tiles of space for it to maneuver, it will despawn.

Tips

 * A useful way to avoid being hit by the Blazing Wheel is to use an Ivy Whip to suspend yourself in midair, rather than standing still on a Dungeon surface.
