Counterweights



A Counterweight is an accessory sold by the Traveling Merchant and the Skeleton Merchant. They fire a second yoyo-type projectile after hitting an enemy with a Yoyo that travels towards the Yoyo, then arcs over the player. They can also be used to craft a Yoyo Bag.

Trivia

 * Counterweights are real world yo-yo accessories used to aid in tricks where the yo-yo is swung from the middle of the string rather than its end. Real-world counterweights are often patterned after (or made out of) polyhedral dice, and Terraria's follow suit- the Blue and Red Counterweights are four sided dice, the Purple and Green Counterweights are six sided dice, and the Black and Yellow Counterweights are twelve sided dice.
