The Thorn Chakram is a pre-Hardmode boomerang. Unlike most boomerangs, it does not necessarily return immediately upon contact with objects, but instead can bounce off solid surfaces before returning. The Thorn Chakram can pass through floors and ceilings only when returning to the player. The Thorn Chakram has a 1/2 (50%) (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) / 1/5 (20%) (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) chance to inflict the Poisoned debuff.

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.

The Thorn Chakram in use. Note its bouncing capability.
