Wings

Wings are Hardmode Accessories that allow the player to fly temporarily by pressing and holding the jump key. Equipping Wings generally replaces jumps entirely with flight, rather than requiring a double-jump to activate. Flight time is reset when the player stands on a regular block. Wings also allow the player to glide down rather than fall, by continuing to hold the jump key after flight time has been exhausted. Glides can be sped up by holding the down key in addition. The player is immune to fall damage when Wings are equipped, whether or not the player has glided down, making the Lucky Horseshoe obsolete.

There are currently 19 types of obtainable Wings, 1 of which can only be obtained in the console version. An additional 6 Wings are unobtainable. Flight time and speed vary by type.

Flight is much more controlled with Wings than with Rocket Boots or Spectre Boots alone, and allow for much greater flight range. Wings also work while under Water. They are always visible on your character, unless you are using a weapon that adds something onto your back like the Leaf Blower, or while wearing Turtle Scale Mail. They fold into a low-profile image when not in midair.

Equipping multiple wings will not stack the flight ability. Only the lowest pair in the list will function.

When one Wing type is placed in a Vanity slot and the other in an Accessory slot, the full graphics and effects of the vanity Wings are shown, while flight speed and other functional characteristics follow those in the Accessory slot.

Stacked accessories
All other jump-boosting Accessories stack with Wings to increase flight range. The following figures assume Class 1 wings (Angel or Demon):

Tips

 * An Ice Rod can be used to lay blocks of ice to land in mid air, allowing you to stay in the air almost indefinitely, provided you have enough mana.
 * Using Feather Fall Potion can also increase the duration of flight greatly, as the slow fall effect of the potion stacks with the wings, allowing very long glide.
 * Similarly, holding an Umbrella will stack its slow fall effect with the wings.
 * Use of Climbing Claws or any form of hook in conjunction with the wings can allow a flight-time reset when the wearer attaches to a block.
 * The Cloud in a Balloon or any accessory with a double jump ability has a unique effect on Wings: They make your first flight very short (roughly half a second), requiring a double-jump for any real flight time. However, once you have double-jumped, flight is significantly faster than usual, and a smoke effect is added (not illuminated), similar to using the Spectre Boots alone (the smoke effect does not appear if both the Cloud in a Balloon and the Spectre Boots are equipped). The double-jump also causes the usual Cloud effect.
 * Equipping the Cloud in a Balloon but not using it, in conjunction with the hoverboard will allow you to hover (but not fly) forever.
