Animation of the Tsunami.

The Tsunami is a Hardmode bow that autofires five arrows arranged in a wave-like formation in a single shot while only consuming one arrow per use. The Tsunami has a 1/5 (20%) chance of being dropped by Duke Fishron.

Its best modifier is Unreal.

Notes

  • Unlike the Chlorophyte Shotbow, each shot always fires five arrows parallel to each other, which are closely knit and do not spread apart over distance.
  • When fired at the correct angle and distance, up to 2 of 5 of the Tsunami's arrows can be shot through closed doors.

Tips

  • This very lethal weapon can be obtained as soon as Hardmode is activated. If it is acquired before killing Golem, Plantera or any of the mechanical bosses, it can speed up game progression tremendously. However, characters playing in Expert Mode or Master Mode worlds may have much more difficulty beating Duke Fishron at such an early stage, so it may be advisable to gear up beforehand.
  • With the right modifier, damage-boosting accessories, Vortex armor, Holy Arrows and Archery Potion, the Tsunami can deal tremendous amounts of damage very fast, defeating most end-game bosses in seconds.
  • This bow can easily deal 300 damage per shot if all arrows hit a single target. This works best against large targets, such as bosses from the Frost Moon or Pumpkin Moon.
  • Holy Arrows and Ichor Arrows synergize well with the Tsunami because of the "five straight" shot pattern it possesses. If all five arrows hit, Holy Arrows rain down 10 stars to the target location, and Ichor Arrows can lower defense with the first arrow while the other four do even more damage resulting from it.
  • Because of how piercing damage works, the Tsunami's damage is maximized by using non-piercing arrows. Piercing projectiles like Jester's Arrows or Unholy Arrows can add an invincibility frame to the enemy (which normally lasts 0.17 seconds) that prevents more than one instance of damage, crippling the DPS of the bow to one fifth of its capabilities.
  • Prior to 1.3.0.1(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), using Hellfire Arrows could be highly hazardous, as the wall of arrows could easily damage the player when shot at certain angles.
  • (3DS version) The Tsunami is highly effective against Ocram. Using Heart Arrows, it can completely stun the boss, and its high DPS can easily take it down in naught but seconds.

Trivia

  • The Tsunami appears in the real-time strategy video game Dungeon Defenders 2 as part of a crossover.
