The Gungnir attacking Target Dummies.

The Gungnir is a Hardmode spear crafted using Hallowed Bars. When used, it emits the light particles typical of the Hallowed theme. It creates a small shockwave at the end of its tip when used.

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

Trivia

• In Norse mythology, Gungnir is the spear of the god Odin, said to never miss once it is thrown.
• Prior to the 1.2.3 update, the Gungnir had a sell value of 30, the highest in the game – this meant reforging a Godly Gungnir prior to 1.2 (where reforging value was reduced from 5 times the item's sell value down to half) cost 3174450.
