Not to be confused with Weather Vane.
The Weather Pain being used against Skeletons and a Target Dummy. Note how the Hurtnado homes in on enemies.

The Weather Pain is a pre-Hardmode wand that has a 1/4 (25%) chance of being dropped by Deerclops. When used, it fires a Hurtnado that dissipates after 9.5 seconds or after hitting 15 enemies.[1] The Hurtnado has 10 armor penetration, bounces off blocks, and homes in on nearby enemies, attempting to hover in front of them to deal continuous damage. Only one Hurtnado can exist at a time. If the Weather Pain is used again while another Hurtnado is already active, the existing Hurtnado dissipates 0.25 seconds after the new one is summoned.

Its best modifier is Mythical.

Notes

  • The Hurtnado can home in on enemies within a 25-tile radius.[1]
  • The Hurtnado applies 25 ticks[2] of static immunity frames upon hit, meaning it can hit up to 2.4 times per second.[3]
  • The Hurtnado has a top movement speed of 41 mph.[1]

Tips

  • Since only one Hurtnado can be active at a time, the player can use a secondary magic weapon during its duration.

Trivia

  • The Weather Pain could be considered a pre-Hardmode variant of the Magnet Sphere.
  • The name Weather Pain is a play of words on weather vane and pain.
  • In real life, weather pains are joint pains caused by changes in atmospheric pressure or humidity.
  • It has the same use sound as the Nimbus Rod, fitting both weapons' storm-based nature.
  • The tooltip is a reference to Walter's examination quote for the Weather Pain in Don't Starve Together.
