Notes

• Each wind gust can damage up to 8 enemies (piercing a maximum of 7).
• The numerous positive qualities of this weapon, including its low crafting cost, large projectile hitbox, strong knockback, and piercing capabilities makes it a very strong weapon for early-game events such as the Goblin Army or Blood Moon, as well as the Eater of Worlds and the Brain of Cthulhu.
