Paladin's Hammer



The Paladin's Hammer is a Hardmode, post-Plantera, boomerang with extreme velocity and knockback, though with one of the shortest ranges of any boomerang, it can be increased with melee speed items, allowing it to travel up to 28 blocks on the PC Edition. The Paladin's Hammer has a 6.67% / (1/15 / ) chance to be dropped from Paladins in post-Plantera Dungeon areas with Brick background walls. Like all weapons, the Paladin's Hammer is granted Auto Swing on the Mobile Edition, however not on the PC or Console, as referred to in the notes section.

Its best Modifier is Ruthless or Godly.

Tips

 * The infinite piercing of the Paladin's Hammer makes it very effective against multi-segmented enemies, which it can strike multiple times in one pass. It is similarly effective against enemies that fire destroyable projectiles, because the hammer can destroy the projectile and damage the caster in one swing.

Trivia

 * The hammer is a common choice of weapon for paladins in many fantasy games, though they are not often thrown.
 * The hammer's throwing function is similar to Mjölnir, the magical hammer wielded by Norse god Thor, which would return to his hand after being thrown.
 * This is the only hammer in the game that has no function as a tool.
