'''Dao of Pow''' is a [[Hardmode]] [[Flail]]. On striking an enemy, the Dao of Pow has a 1/3 (33%) chance of inflicting the [[Confused]] [[debuff]] for three seconds.
−
The '''Coin Gun''' is a [[Hardmode]] [[ranged weapon]] that uses [[coins]] as [[ammunition]], which cannot be retrieved once fired. Its damage and velocity depend on the type of coin fired. It is dropped very rarely (0.0125% or 1/8000 chance) by [[Pirate Invasion]] [[enemies]], excluding the [[Parrot]]. The drop rate for the [[Pirate Captain]] is doubled (0.025% or 1/40000 chance) and increasing again with the [[Flying Dutchman]] (0.025% or 1/4000).

Its best [[Modifier]] is '''Godly'''.
−
The Coin Gun cannot receive any [[Modifiers]] that increase damage, so one of its best prefixes is Agile, as the slightly higher critical chance boosts the weapon's damage rate slightly. Rapid may be preferred as it instead boosts speed and velocity. Zealous serves as the most economical option, with the highest raise in critical chance without adding attack speed.

  +
* The Dao of Pow is available early into Hardmode, and is available without defeating any Hardmode bosses, making it a suitable upgrade from late pre-Hardmode weapons.
−
* This item is extremely rare. Before 1.3 it took an average of 66-67 complete [[Pirate Invasion]]s before it dropped. With the addition of the [[Flying Dutchman]] in 1.3, there is an increased chance of the weapon drop.
  
  +
* While the Confused status can help keep certain enemies at bay, many others are immune to this debuff.
−
* Easily one of the most powerful weapons — if platinum coins are used as ammo — though this can make combat prohibitively expensive.
  
  +
* Like all [[Flail]]s, holding the attack button will cause the head to remain deployed, dealing full damage to enemies that make contact with it.
−
* {{console icon}}{{mobile icon}} The Coin Gun with Platinum Coins regardless of modifiers had the highest DPS (damage per second) in the game, dealing a whopping 1714 damage per second, making it a very useful weapon for invasions like the [[Frost Moon]] (that is, if you have a decent amount of Platinum Coins). Due to its high DPS, adding modifiers and damage boosters, it can reach over 2000 DPS.
  
  +
* The chance to inflict the confusion debuff is calculated for each attack, meaning, that all enemies hit during one attack sequence either will get the confusion debuff or won't.
−
* It is more cost efficient to convert coins to lower denominations for ammo. However this comes at the cost of a lower damage rate. Using copper coins is 125,000 times more efficient than using platinum.
  
  +
−
* Coins are consumed from the inventory first, then the designated coin slots.
  
  +
== Trivia ==
−
* Needs a constant craft of 100 low tier coins because the pickup of coins can convert the stacks with lower than 100 coins into a higher-tier coin, otherwise it can eventually use unwanted coins. It requires constant attention to the ammo amount indicated. If there's less than 200 ammo, it can start using Silver, Gold or Platinum Coins.
  
  +
* The Dao of Pow is colored black and white in a [[wikipedia:Taijitu|Taijitu or "Yin Yang"]]-style design commonly associated with [[wikipedia:Taoism|Taoism]]. The Chinese word 道 meaning 'way' or 'path' is often romanised to either 'tao' or 'dao'.
−
* The Coin Gun is affected by ammo conservation effects such as that of [[Shroomite Armor]], the [[Ammo Box]] or the [[Ammo Reservation Potion]].
  
  +
* The tooltip is a play on the phrase "Find your inner peace", referring to the inherent objective that Taoists should strive towards.
−
* Just using copper coins when not trying to be rapid fire will deal more damage.
