Jousting Lance



The Jousting Lance is a Hardmode melee weapon purchased from the Zoologist for. When attacking using, the lance will extend, and holding will keep it extended at a fixed angle. The damage will increase 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.

When the player takes damage, the Jousting Lance will stop being active.

Trivia

 * The tooltip 'Have at thee!' is a reference to a line in the William Shakespeare play 'The History of King Henry the Sixth'.
 * Holding the lance in the opposite of the direction of travel will cause mounts to moonwalk at full speed. i.e a unicorn mount can gallop backwards.
 * While riding a mount, the jousting lance will hover in the air and your hand will not extend forwards.
