The Chain Knife attacking a Target Dummy. Note how the Knife immediately returns when hitting a block.

The Chain Knife is a pre-Hardmode flail that has a 1/250 (0.4%) chance of being dropped by Cave Bats. When used, it fires a knife attached to a chain that can extend up to 9.4 tiles.

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

  • In Don't dig up and Get fixed boi seeds, the Chain Knife receives the following changes:
    • Switched place with KO Cannon. As a result, it is dropped by Clowns instead of Cave Bats.
    • Damage increased from 12 to 60.
    • Use time decreased from 20 to 15.
    • Sell value increased from 25 SC to 3 GC50 SC.
    • Maximum range doubled from 9.4 tiles to 18.8 tiles.
