The Flower Pow attacking Target Dummies and a Mimic.

The Flower Pow is a Hardmode, post-Plantera flail that has a 1/7 (14.29%) chance of being dropped by Plantera. When thrown, it rapidly fires pink flower petals at nearby enemies. Petal projectiles deal 33.33% of the weapon's damage (43 base damage) and inflict 50% of its knockback (base knockback of 3.25 (Weak)).[1] The fire rate increases greatly while the flail's head is resting on a block.

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

  • When pressed against a 1-block wide wall, a player can launch the Flower Pow through it, making it helpful for attacking enemies from safety.

Trivia

  • Its name is a play on "flower power", a peace slogan used during the late 1960s to early 1970s.
  • The petals it fires are similar to the seeds Plantera fires in her first stage.
  • The Flower Pow is one of three flails that fire additional projectiles, the others being the Drippler Crippler and the Flairon.
  • The Flower Pow is the strongest and the last obtainable thrown flail.
