The Flamarang in use.

The Flamarang is a pre-Hardmode boomerang and an upgrade to the Enchanted Boomerang. It has a 1/2 (50%) chance of inflicting the On Fire! debuff to enemies for 3 seconds on hit.

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 Flamarang 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 27.88 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 Flamarang 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

  • This weapon works very well against Queen Bee when she is stationary and spawning Bees, as the Flamarang will both set Queen Bee on fire and kill approaching bees.

Trivia

  • Flamarang is a portmanteau of the words flame and boomerang.
