This article is about the yoyo. For the character controlled by the player, see Character.
The player attacking Target Dummies with the Terrarian. Note how the projectiles home in on enemies.

The Terrarian is a Hardmode yoyo that has a 2/9 (22.22%) chance of being dropped by the Moon Lord. It rapidly fires short-lived green orbs towards nearby enemies that bounce off blocks. It also has a base 14% critical strike chance as opposed to the usual 4%.

Its best modifier is Legendary. Although yoyos cannot normally obtain the Legendary modifier, the Terrarian is an exception and receives a unique set of boosts from the Legendary modifier: +17% damage, +8% critical strike chance, and +17% knockback.

Notes

  • The Terrarian fires projectiles every 0.1 seconds.[1]
  • Striking an enemy with the Terrarian's projectiles will activate an equipped counterweight and yoyo glove, even if the yoyo itself does not hit. The duplicate yoyo resulting from yoyo glove will also fire projectiles.
  • The projectiles are fired toward closest enemy within a 25-tiles distance of the yoyo.[2]
    • If no enemy is within range, they will be fired in random directions.
    • The projectiles do not chase enemies after being fired and simply move in an straight line.
  • The Terrarian and its projectiles each apply 10 ticks of static immunity frames upon hitting an enemy.[3]
  • Each Terrarian beam projectile can only deal damage once, and becomes harmless afterwards.[4]
  • Upon hitting an enemy or after 0.5 seconds have passed, the projectiles begin gradually fading out over the course of 0.43 seconds before disappearing.[5]

Trivia

  • The Terrarian is available in real-life from One Drop YoYos One drop logo.png.[6] In November 2015, the original "Terrarian" came out, and then, in June 2019, a related yoyo called the "Legendary Terrarian" was released by One Drop Yoyos. Since the release of 1.4.0.1 in May 2020, the Terrarian can be reforged to a Legendary Terrarian in-game as well.
  • Fittingly with being dropped by the Moon Lord, it appears to be made from Luminite, based on its hue.
  • The Terrarian, alongside the Zenith, has the second-highest base damage of any melee weapon in the game, falling behind the Meowmere by 10 base damage. However, despite this, it usually has a higher DPS than the Meowmere because of the homing projectiles and the effect of the Yoyo Bag.
  • Along with the Hive-Five, the Terrarian is one of the only two yoyos capable of firing projectiles.
  • The Terrarian-exclusive Legendary modifier has the internal ID 84 (Legendary2), whereas the Legendary modifier for all other weapons has the ID 81 (Legendary). The usual Legendary modifier applies a speed bonus that cannot be applied to yoyos, so a special Legendary modifier had to be coded that would be applicable only to the Terrarian.

History

  • Desktop 1.4.4: Both the Yoyo and the Orbs now use static immunity. Because the Yoyo and Orbs now each do damage without being blocked by the other, this results in a substantial increase to the Terrarian's potential damage.
