Sunfury

The Sunfury is a flail that can be acquired as a rare drop from Bone Serpents (1% chance) and as a very rare drop from Skeletron. It is one of the most elusive weapons in the entire game and can be very tedious to acquire. This item cannot be crafted.

Despite being classed as having slow speed, its actual speed depends on how far away your target is. When the ball goes too far from the player or hits a block, it retracts instantly. Using Sunfury at close range is a decent strategy since it will retract on impact and can be used again immediately. This weapon, along with other flail weapons, is not affected by an increase in melee speed. This is also one of the best weapons to use against any boss, mainly the Eater of Worlds as it can cause about 60 damage to every link (because of several hits) and spread the damage equally.

It has the highest base damage out of all infinite-use weapons, except for the Night's Edge and Fiery Greatsword even though it is much less effective against multiple fast enemies than other melee weapons. Clumped enemies, burrowing enemies, and bosses are particularly susceptible to this weapon. The Star Cannon, Flamelash and all explosives do more damage.

Bugs and Glitches
When shot up at a specific angle the Sunfury will pass through solid blocks before retracting.


 * The sprite of the "ball" at the end of the Sunfury is not centered. Experiment by running at full speed using Hermes Boots and using Sunfury in the opposite direction. Compare to Blue Moon.
