Demon Scythe



The Demon Scythe is a magic weapon that fires circular projectiles that can pierce through multiple enemies and/or large enemies for multiple hits on each. Its projectiles have little to no movement for the first second or two, then gradually gain speed. The Demon Scythe has a 2.86% (1/35) chance of being dropped by Demons and Voodoo Demons in The Underworld.

Tips

 * The Demon Scythe remains useful into Hardmode, as its damage rate rivals that of many Hardmode weapons, especially when fired up-close for continuous damage while the projectile is still picking up speed.
 * The Demon Scythe is comparatively inexpensive to reforge.
 * The Demon Scythe is useful when fighting the Wall of Flesh as its attacks can pierce The Hungry and Leeches that the boss summons.
 * Similarly, the piercing, persistent attacks are very useful against the Eater of Worlds, making the fight more possible even if the player otherwise is not geared up to defeat it.
 * Due to its already high damage, early availability and relatively low mana cost, this weapon makes a potent weapon well into Hardmode and pairs very well with magic armor and a mana flower

Trivia

 * The Demon Scythe projectile is called a Demon Sickle in death messages.
 * The book may appear with the Demonic modifier, resulting in the name "Demonic Demon Scythe".
