Meowmere

The Meowmere is a Hardmode melee weapon. It auto-swings, firing a cat-shaped projectile trailed by a rainbow that consumes no mana or ammunition. The projectile is affected by gravity, and will bounce four times, piercing multiple enemies, before disappearing on the fifth hit. As of update 1.3.0.1, it has the highest base damage for a melee weapon in the game, followed by the Terrarian. Prior to the update, this title went to the Terra Blade. The Meowmere has a 11.11% chance to be dropped by the Moon Lord boss. Its best modifier is Legendary. It has a greatly increased range when moving backwards and swinging.

Trivia

 * The cat-shaped rainbow projectiles that the sword fires are inspired by the Nyan Cat meme.

Tricks

 * When the projectiles collide with a block, it creates an explosion, and these explosions grow with more collisions. This can be used to defeat enemies behind a wall or under a floor.

Bugs

 * If the player is flying while aiming upwards and continuously attacking, there is a chance to begin flying in a zig-zag pattern horizontally in the direction the player was flying in. The flight will continue until the player stops swinging, allowing for infinite flight.
