The Shuriken in use.

The Shuriken is a consumable ranged weapon. It can hit up to 4 targets. Shurikens can be found in Pots and Chests around the world, and can be purchased from the Merchant for 15 CC each.

Notes

  • Like boomerangs, Shurikens can be thrown through single-block-thick walls, at certain angles.

Tips

  • As Shurikens both pierce and are affected by gravity, they can be thrown upwards to damage an enemy multiple times.
  • Since Shurikens are easy to obtain, they are an effective early-game weapon. They work well as a substitute for a bow to damage enemies from a distance, if the player has not acquired one yet.
    • Even after getting a bow, they can remain relevant due to their ability to pierce multiple targets, such as during the fight against the Eye of Cthulhu.

Trivia

  • In the official Japanese Terraria wiki, the Shuriken is referred to in two different writing systems, them being:
    • The Katakana writing system which is also used in the official Japanese port.
    • The Kanji writing system.
