The Juggernaut use animation.

The Juggernaut is a Hardmode flail that is dropped by the Flying Dutchman. When the flail is thrown forward and deals critical strikes, the chain will snap, and the head will launch as a boulder-like projectile that rolls around based on gravity and damages all enemies it comes into contact with.

The flail head can be extended up to 19 tiles before returning. Like most flails, you can hold down the mouse button to flail it around as you walk.

Trivia

• The idea for the Juggernaut originated from a suggestion post on the Terraria Community Forums by SzGamer227.
• This weapon is a reference to the Bloons Tower Defense series, in which a tower shares the mechanics and name of this weapon.
