Cascade's animation while inflicting the On Fire! debuff.

The Cascade is a pre-Hardmode yoyo. With a base reach of 14.5 tiles and a maximum spin duration of 13 seconds before returning, it is the most powerful yoyo available pre-Hardmode. Upon striking an enemy, it has a chance to inflict the On Fire! debuff.

The Cascade has a 0.25*1/400 (0.25%) chance of being dropped by any enemy in or near The Underworld after Skeletron has been defeated. Once Hardmode begins, it will no longer drop, as the stronger Hel-Fire will drop instead.

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

Notes

Cascade will only drop from enemies that also drop at least 1. Since they do not drop coins, this excludes Statue-spawned enemies.

Tips

When used, it will emit embers which can be used as a light source stemming 6 blocks away (13×13 tiles sized light; 6 tiles from all sides, excluding the source).

Trivia

The name Cascade comes from one of the many different yoyos sold by One Drop YoYos . Their logo is the symbol listed at the bottom of the item's tooltip. There is a notable difference in color, though: While the real-life original is light blue, the Cascade appears to look like a CODE2 Dragon Slayer.
Unlike many other items, the Cascade's availability is very limited, as it can only be obtained between defeating Skeletron and the Wall of Flesh.
It is one of the only weapons that becomes completely unobtainable in Hardmode, the other being the Gray Zapinator.
