Meowmere



The Meowmere is dropped by the Endgame boss 'MoonLord' and does the highest base damage of any melee weapon in the game currently. It shoots a some-what nyan cat shaped rainbow projectile then can bounce 5 times and explodes on last bounce.

Its best Modifier is Legendary.

Tips

 * Once this weapon is obtained, farming the Moon Lord becomes significantly easier. He can easily be defeated by auto-swinging it backwards while running.
 * The Meowmere is a great melee weapon but doesn't do to well for these bosses: Duke Fishron, Skeletron Prime (a bit), and Pumpkin Moon + Frost Moon. Sometimes if you use the Meowmere right it will get the job done.

Trivia

 * The cat-shaped rainbow projectiles that the sword fires are inspired by the Nyan Cat meme.
 * The Meowmere has the highest base damage of all melee weapons, followed closely by the Terrarian. However, Terrarian has a higher DPS.
 * When the cat projectile hits a wall, it makes a "meow" sound.
 * Some weapons like Dynamite, Bunny Cannon and Explosives have more damage than Meowmere even with Legendary Modifier.
