Paladin's Hammer

The Paladin's Hammer is a rare drop from the Paladin, who is only found in the Hardmode Dungeon. It is an extremely fast returning boomerang, which has one of the shortest ranges for a boomerang-classed weapon, but if it gets the proper equipment, this weapon can become one of the deadliest available, and with the right modifiers and equipment, can reach or exceed 220. This weapon hits through enemies, proceeding until the hammer hits a solid wall or reaches the limit it can go before returning, allowing for insane accumulative damage against enemies such as the Destroyer. When coupled with the Frost Armor's inflicted Frostburn debuff, which affects each segment of worm enemies, a single player can tear the Destroyer down in around half a minute. As with all modifiable boomerangs, the best prefix for the Paladin's Hammer is Unreal.

Trivia

 * The Hammer is a common choice of weapon for paladins in many fantasy games.
 * This item could also be a reference to Thor's hammer Mjolnir, due to the fact that when thrown it returns to the user's hand.

Anomaly

 * When running fast (wearing Lightning Boots on Asphalt) if the hammer is thrown in the direction away from where your running to, given enough melee speed, a second instance of the hammer can be thrown before the first has returned
