Hallowed Jousting Lance



The Hallowed Jousting Lance is a Hardmode melee weapon and is an upgraded version of the Jousting Lance. When attacking, the lance will extend, and holding will keep it extended at a fixed angle. The damage done increases depending on the player's velocity making a mount, sprinting accessories, or dash abilities (such as those granted by Shield of Cthulhu, Tabi/Master Ninja Gear, or Solar Flare armor) useful for maximizing damage.

Tips

 * Taking damage uncouches the lance and requires to be used again to re-extend it, so to prevent touching enemies when charging, it is advisable to line up the lance so that enemies are hit by the tip and are knocked back (if not killed) from a distance and unable to hurt the player.
 * Conversely, holding the lance straight up or down gives it a much taller hitbox, which can make hitting flying or less predictable enemies easier when charging.
 * Holding the lance straight down when falling down a hellevator will prevent cobwebs, such as those created in a spider cave, from slowing the player's descent.
