Dao of Pow

Dao of Pow is a Hardmode Flail, and is the strongest Flail in the game. It has a range almost twice that of the Sunfury.

The Dao of Pow has a high probability of inflicting the Confused debuff to Enemies. Confused enemies will have a purple question mark above them, and will move away from the player. Enemies with ranged attacks such as Skeleton Archers will run away and not fire at the player. Teleporting enemies such as Chaos Elementals will still try to teleport towards the player, but will promptly run away again. The effect lasts for about three seconds.

Trivia

 * The Dao of Pow is colored black and white in a Taijitu or "Yin Yang"-style design commonly associated with Daoism.
 * The Tooltip is a play on words on the phrase "Find your inner peace", referring to the inherent objective that Taoists should strive towards. The "pieces" may be a reference to the Light and Dark Shards used to create it. Alternatively, the name might reference the weapon's ability to rip enemies to "pieces".
 * The name Dao of Pow may be referring to the book The Tao of Pooh.
 * The word "Dao" is never written by Taoists, but "Tao" is pronounced "Dao". Note: Sometimes Taoism is called Daoism - they are the same thing.
 * Considering the ingredients needed to make it, it presumably represents the dichotomy between the Corruption and the Hallow.
 * Surprisingly, no spikes, chains, or other things related to flails are required to craft this weapon.

Tips

 * The purple question mark can be used to trace enemies in the dark.
 * The Confused status it inflicts is useful to clear crowds of persistent enemies around you, forcing them to retreat.
 * The Confused status can also be annoying when you're only focusing on one enemy; it will keep running away from you, forcing you to chase it.
 * Holding down left click with The Dao Of Pow can be useful as a barrier in small passages, the flail will stay on the ground damaging anything that touches it, while you stand behind it, watching the enemies rip themselves to pieces.
 * If you get certain prefixes via Reforging, like Godly with accessories having the Menacing/Angry prefix, the Dao of Pow can even outdamage the Excalibur.
