Flairon



The Flairon is a Hardmode melee weapon that auto-fires a ball-and-chain that is shaped like a Duke Fishron head about 25 tiles from the player, and releases homing bubble projectiles that damage enemies. The Flairon has a 1/5 chance of being dropped by Duke Fishron.

The Flairon is a launched Flail, and while it has the appearance of a normal flail it is more similar in function to the Chain Knife, the KO Cannon or Golem Fist. It is not affected by gravity, does not remain deployed when holding the fire button, and cannot be swung around. Rather, holding the fire button causes it to auto-fire repeatedly, returning and re-firing when it impacts or reaches its maximum range.

Tips

 * Because the Flairon produces the bubbles while it is being swung, it is more effective if aimed slightly away from desired targets. The bubbles do the same amount of damage as the main projectile but have the additional bonus of homing and frequency.
 * The Flairon can also be an effective weapon to use against Lunatic Cultist, celestial pillars, the Pumpkin Moon and Frost Moon.

Trivia

 * The developers have referred to the Flairon as the "Flailron" in patch notes.
 * The name Flairon is a portmanteau of Flail and Fishron.
