The Meowmere is a Hardmode, post-Moon Lord sword that has a 2/9 (22.22%) chance of being dropped by the Moon Lord. When used, it fires a cat head projectile with a visual rainbow trail every 0.23 seconds. The cat head deals 125% of the weapon's damage (250 base damage), is affected by gravity, and can pierce enemies or bounce off blocks up to four times. Upon bouncing off a block, the cat head makes a "meow" sound and emits damaging rainbow explosions that grow in size with each bounce.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Notes

The Meowmere being used against Target Dummies.
  • The cat head projectile applies 10 ticks of local immunity frames on hit.[1]
  • The rainbow explosions deal damage to all enemies within a 3×3-tile rectangle centered on the point of impact and grow by half a tile each bounce, up to a 5×5-tile rectangle with the final explosion.[2]
  • The cat head travels at 61 mph without attack speed bonuses.

Tips

  • Its bouncing projectiles and explosions are very useful against crowds of enemies in small spaces, such as the Dungeon.
  • The cat heads can be reflected by enemies like the Selenian. Care should be taken around those enemies, especially at close range.
  • If the player is annoyed by the Meowmere's sound, they can alter the game's sound files to remove or change it. The relevant files are Item_57.xnb and Item_58.xnb in the sounds folder (<Steam folder>\steamapps\common\Terraria\Content\Sounds). They can be deleted or alternatively be replaced with copies of Item_8.xnb, a hardly noticeable sound.
