Sunfury

The Sunfury is a Flail weapon that emits light when thrown, and can also set enemies On Fire!. Like other Flails, it is a ball-and-chain that swings outward, returns when its maximum distance is reached, is largely affected by gravity, and will continue to hang off the player if the attack button is held, causing damage to enemies that touch it. The Sunfury is obtained from Shadow Chests in The Underworld.

Tips

 * The Sunfury is the most damaging "semi-ranged" weapon available prior to Hardmode (though it deals Melee damage) that can pierce through multiple enemies and consumes no Mana or Ammunition.
 * The Sunfury's range, high damage, piercing ability, and lack of any Mana or Ammo cost makes it remain useful well into Hardmode.
 * The Sunfury actually does 34 melee damage.
 * By holding it on the ground next to the player, and use of the Cobalt or Obsidian Shield, Sunfury can be used to kill Skeletron in a matter of seconds, when it spins.
 * The Sunfury can act as a semi shield when dealing with weaker enemies, as the knock back is quite powerful. It may also act similar to a thorns potion for enemies who charge at the player, if placed directly in front of the player.
 * The Sunfury's powerful knock back and deadly DPS is however, one of the hardest to control, as the Sunfury can hit twice, but if done so, the enemy may get knocked away from the player and later knocked straight at the player during the return. Practice with the Sunfury and some knowledge on how to use it effectively is advised.
