Bananarangs attacking a Target Dummy.
Not to be confused with the Banana(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), a food item.

The Bananarang is a Hardmode boomerang that is dropped by the Clown during Blood Moon with a 1/10 (10%) chance. Unlike most boomerangs, it does not have to return to the player before being fired, with a maximum of ten Bananarangs that can be thrown out at one time.

Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount. However, Ruthless might be preferred if the player already has very high critical strike chance.

Notes

  • The Bananarang can travel for 0.5 seconds before it starts decelerating, and eventually turning around to return towards the player. This results in having a maximum range of roughly 32.19 tiles.[1]
    • Melee speed bonuses increase the boomerang's velocity, which in turn increases its range.
      • Conversely, liquids will slow down the boomerang and reduce its range.
    • As soon as the boomerang begins decelerating, it gains infinite piercing and becomes capable of going through solid tiles. This allows it to hit enemies multiple times near end of its maximum range and slightly penetrate into tiles.
  • The Bananarang has a top speed of 102 mph when returning to the player, and can only exist for up to 1 minute before despawning. It will also despawn if its distance from the player is more than 187.5 tiles.

Tips

  • The Bananarang is a great option for dealing with flying enemies, as well as keeping crowds at bay. It is very powerful from early to mid-Hardmode, especially against bosses such as Queen Slime, The Twins and Skeletron Prime.

Trivia

  • Bananarang is a portmanteau of the words banana and boomerang.
