Chain Knife

The Chain Knife melee weapon fires a projectile attached to a chain, similar to Flails, but the attack button cannot be held to wield it continuously. It only extends a short distance of 12 tiles, though its quick use time and velocity may make it a good early to mid-game weapon. It is dropped rarely by Cave Bats.

The best Modifier for this weapon is Godly.

Tips

 * It is good at killing quick flying monsters. It is also good at killing large groups of wall creepers, and the second form of the Brain of Cthulhu.

Trivia

 * Possible reference to Scorpion from Mortal Kombat and his signature hook attack, or the rope-dart from Assassins Creed, or the Vampire Killer from Castlevania.
