Dark Lance

The Dark Lance is a Demonite based weapon added in the 1.0.5 patch. It has a base damage of 27 and has a ranged attack and an average speed, similar to a Shortsword or Spear. The range of the lance reaches to about 4-6 blocks and has a knockback of around 4 tiles. The attack can penetrate walls, making it able to hit burrowing monsters in the walls; Worms, glitched Man-Eater heads etc.

The Lance attacks in whatever direction you click. The particle effect left when used in a dark area lasts for about a second. This is very useful for locating caves or ores through walls. It is a very effective weapon against almost all monsters, though it can be flawed when put up against Bats or Mages.



The lance can be found as a rare find in chests in the Underworld, as well as Dungeons. It falls into the new weapon category, "Spears". It is currently the strongest of all of the Spears. The Dark Lance has a rarity of 3. Only one Dark Lance can be found on a single map, Also, the first underworld chest generated will have have this, please note that "underworld chests" might not necessarily be in the underworld itself, instead some blocks above the underwold, maybe even in the Underground Jungle.
