Attacking with the Shroomerang. Note that it pierces enemies at maximum range.

The Shroomerang is a pre-Hardmode boomerang that is dropped by Spore Bats with a 1/40 (2.5%) chance.

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 Shroomerang 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 23.67 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 Shroomerang has a top speed of 46 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.

Trivia

  • Shroomerang is a portmanteau of the words mushroom and boomerang.
