Shuriken

thumb|300px|right|Using Shurikens.Shuriken are a common ranged weapon that are usually found in Chests and Pots.

Thrown Shurikens pass through enemies and inflict damage, and can inflict damage on the same enemy more than once depending on the angle. Since they pass through enemies they do not knock them back unlike most other weapons making them a less than ideal weapon against a single enemy. Most shuriken can be retrieved and thrown again, but some break on impact. The return rate for Shuriken is around 80%.

Keep in mind that Shuriken are affected by gravity much more than Arrows which can make them difficult for first time users.

Shuriken can commonly be found in Chests, and can be bought from Merchants for 20 Copper each.

The "Very Fast" fire rate, coupled with their low cost makes them an ideal early-game weapon for fighting the Eye of Cthulhu.
