Animation of the Throwing Knife.

The Throwing Knife is a consumable ranged weapon. It can hit up to 2 targets. It can be purchased from the Merchant during a Blood Moon for 50 CC each and may also be found in Chests. The Throwing Knife is greatly affected by gravity and arcs similarly to Shurikens and Bones. It has the greatest range out of these consumable ranged weapons (with Bones having the least).

The Merchant will use Throwing Knives to defend himself against nearby enemies.

Tips

  • Throwing Knives are similar to Shurikens in that they can pierce targets and are affected by gravity. While Shurikens can hit more targets, Throwing Knifes deal more damage and have a higher velocity. They are also more expensive but can be upgraded to Poisoned Knives.
