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 blocks before returning. The Thorn Chakram has a 1/2 (50%) 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.

Notes

  • The Thorn Chakram 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 28.38 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 chakram begins decelerating, it gains infinite piercing and becomes capable of going through solid blocks. This allows it to hit enemies multiple times near the end of its maximum range and slightly penetrate into blocks.
  • The Thorn Chakram has a top speed of 92 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 greater than 187.5 tiles.

Trivia

  • A chakram is a weapon historically used in India. It is a flat metal ring with a sharp outer edge that was thrown at the enemy, but it would not return or bounce.
  • The Thorn Chakram was the loading icon for saving in the Mobile version Mobile version of Terraria in the versions before 1.2.12715's release. It was replaced with a Demon Eye, which lasted until 1.3.0.7.
