Harpoon

The Harpoon is a weapon acquired from the Goblin Army. It is a ranged weapon that fires a harpoon on a chain. It does not require ammo and is similar to the Ball 'O Hurt with the exception that because the harpoon is smaller than the ball, it is harder to aim. Like Flails, the Enchanted Boomerang or Flamarang, it retracts when hitting an enemy. The projectile also flies further than the traditional flail weapons.

The Harpoon does 15 damage and attacks slowly. Speed depends on how far away you fired your previous harpoon, it can fire as fast as a Minishark provided you are firing from a 1 block distance. You can also hold down the fire button to constantly attack with it similar to the Muramasa. Although it is risky, monsters can be eliminated very quickly at very short range by making use of the speed and automatic firing. Like with flails, a good strategy when facing a larger group of enemies is to get to an elevated position (or jump) and shoot at a target from the distance, as the projectile will then hit said enemy and, while coming back, damage everything it touches.

The Harpoon acts as a mass on a chain, and has weight. As such, it is useful for firing over walls to hit enemies on the other side. The weapon will not latch into your target and pull it back towards you, instead it will simply hit them and return back.

Harpoon sells for 54 silver coins. Harpoons can be shot straight through Platforms, making it easy to safely attack from above.
