The Javelin is a consumable throwing weapon. It can pierce up to three enemies and has a long range, flying straight for approximately thirty-six blocks before dropping abruptly. Javelins have no chance of dropping itself after impacting a block or hitting an enemy. It is only dropped by Hoplites found in the Marble biome.

Notes

• Despite not being a melee weapon, it is affected by Flasks.
• Javelins travel at a speed of 53mph.

Tips

• This may be useful during Events such as Slime Rain and Blood Moon where the piercing and decent damage, paired with the fast throw speed, could make this a viable weapon in these situations.
