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 after the Wall of Flesh has been defeated.

The best obtainable modifier that the Anchor can get is Godly.

Trivia
This weapon may be a reference to Nautilus from League of Legends, in which one of his attacks involves him throwing an anchor forward. It is also visually similar.

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.
