Whirlpool Saber swinging animation. Note the whirlpool passing through tiles.

The Whirlpool Saber is a broadsword that is sold by the Diverman after Skeletron is defeated. It fires a large, short-range, spinning whirlpool projectile at no mana or ammo cost. The whirlpool travels approximately 9 tiles, can pass through tiles, and pierces up to 6 enemies.

Its best modifier is Legendary.
