Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount.

Tips[]

If players are willing to take the risk of navigating the Underground Jungle early on, the Amazon can be acquired within the first few days of starting a new world.
- Due to the Amazon's high base damage and long flight time, this provides them with a very powerful starting weapon. It is even useful for the first bosses, like the Eye of Cthulhu and the Brain of Cthulhu.
- The Amazon even outperforms both the Malaise and the Artery in damage, making it an ideal weapon for after Eye of Cthulhu.
In order to gather Stingers, Spiked Jungle Slimes can be trapped behind walls and killed safely. When going for such a strategy, the player is advised to be on the lookout for Man Eaters and Hornets, as they are able to quickly kill a new character.
- In Expert Mode, Stingers are a guaranteed drop from the enemies that drop it. The Amazon can thus be obtained more quickly than on normal mode.
Jungle Spores are usually found in small caves surrounded by mud blocks. Man Eaters can move through blocks and cause considerably high damage; to avoid this problem, new players should stay in open spaces that allow some movement to dodge the attacks.
- Its high sale price makes it a decent source of money when the required materials are available. While the yoyo is worth 130, its ingredients only sell for 340 (2.62% of the yoyo's value). In 1.4 versions, other crafts with the same materials can be more profitable; see the Guide to Making Money for more details.
