Weapons

Weapons are offensive tools that can be used to damage enemies.

In Terraria they have a variety of qualities. Tools can do damage as well, but weapons do more damage. It is rumored that melee weapons of the same resource type can do more damage than ranged weapons but that rumor has not been proven.

Weapons can be made with many things, and include swords, bows, guns...etc.


 * Swords: One of the most common weapons; usaully resulting in fast or medium speed.


 * Thrown Weapons: Weapons used for large ranges with medium damage hits and fast speed.


 * Flails:Long-ranged weapons used for large quanities of enemies or boss monsters like The Eater of Worlds


 * Explosives:A thrown weapon which can either explode and destroy tiles (and)/(or) damage enemies in large quanities


 * Guns:Weapons using ammo which are usaully found in shadow orbs or bought from the Arms Dealer


 * Spells: Spells are mana-using weapons that usually end up in a lot of damage which can travel over long ranges


 * Bows: Crafted weapons usaully very powerful but slower than the average sword even though resulting in large damage
