Spears

Spears are much like Shortswords since both strike through infinite targets in a straight line extending from the player. However, Spears can be aimed. Some players prefer Spears over Shortswords even though the Shortsword does more damage when fighting Zombies or a Goblin Army because any Spear will outrange a Shortsword and can also hit the same target multiple times. These can be more useful against worm type enemies as every segment passing through the spear, even the handle, will take damage, this is also safer as you do not have to be quite as close to the burrowing monster, and still rack up damage. It won't damage enemies through walls except for those who can go through walls (Man eaters, meteor head, and all of the worm types). Like flails, these can attack normal enemies through platforms. When facing several enemies that fly, using a sword or mouse-controlled magic weapon is recommeneded.

There are 3 different Spears starting from the lowest tier.

Spears are not affected by increases in meelee attack speed, but are affected by the Molten Armor's meelee attack bonus.
