Weapons (Magnumiactus)

Weapons are items that are meant to deal damage to enemies, whether through direct contact or a projectile. Magnumiactus introduces quite a few weapons, with a focus on the throwing class and a new (or at least greatly expanded) weapon type for the melee class.

Melee Weapons

Melee weapons usually don't have too much range in comparison to weapons from other classes, but they can still be useful for close combat.

Swords

Swords are melee weapons that swing around or in front of the user. Some swords may also release a projectile.

Red Wing
Lagiacrus Blade
Flame-Blessed Broadsword
Shroomite Broadsword
Furious Falchion
Procellarite Broadsword

Spears

Spears are melee weapons that thrust outwards and then recede inward. They are typically long and slender with a "head" of sorts at one end. This head typically indicates where the hitbox of the spear projectile is and how large the hitbox is.

The Toothpick
Stinger Spear
Aquarian Leister
Procellarite Trident

Yoyos

Yoyos are flail-like melee weapons that can move with their user's cursor. They can hit enemies multiple times in succession, making them valuable tools in combat.

Superfast
Sky-Sea Spinner

Lances

Lances are spear-like melee weapons that poke out when used. They can be good for close combat, as their knockback can keep some enemies at bay. However, for more ranged combat, they aren't that great compared to projectile-firing swords or yoyos. This is where a subtype of Lances comes in; weapons of this Gunlance subtype use the Guard hotkey to reload ammo that can then be fired as a projectile. This projectile may have a larger range than the (gun)lance itself at times. Gunlances are marked with a (GL) in the list below.

Ranged Weapons

Ranged weapons have a large range, but they use ammunition that takes time to restock. However, switching up ammunition can help quite a bit with some battles.

Bows

Bows are ranged weapons that consume and/or fire arrows. Arrows may be susceptible to gravity depending on the type of arrow used, so it is important to account for their trajectory when using a bow. Bows can be made more powerful through items like the Archery Potion.

Spore Sling
Hermitaur Hunting Bow
Voltsender
Seastring
Pain Rain
Eltanine Wave

Repeaters

Repeaters are a subtype of bow that resemble crossbows and have the property of Autoswing or auto-fire, which allows continued use while holding the Use Item button.

Necro Repeater
Autoquarian
Procellarite Repeater

Guns

Guns are ranged weapons which consume bullets. These bullets may come out in a variety of ways, including in a spread of multiple projectiles or in rapid-fire singular shots.

Launchers

Launchers are ranged weapons which consume rockets. They are not particularly rapid-firing weapons, but they make up for it with high potential damage, a lot of which comes from the ammunition used. Where other ranged weapons tend to have one projectile per ammunition item, launchers break this trend with unique projectiles for combinations of rocket and launcher.

Void Nuke

Magic Weapons

Magic weapons usually fire an unusual (but typically long-ranged) projectile using mana, which slowly regenerates over time while not being used.

Staves

Staves, staffs, or wands are rather elongated compared to other magic weapons and are usually held diagonally.

Spore Staff
Gliding Blaze
Procellarite Staff
Barrier Builder

Spell Tomes

Spell tomes take the form of books and may be crafted at a Bookcase.

Tritifier
Razor Bolt

Magic Guns

Magic guns resemble guns in appearance, but require mana for usage instead of bullets or other ammunition. This means that magic guns and their projectiles can sometimes stray from the typical behavior of guns and bullets.

Storm Shot
Bubble Jackhammer

Summoning Weapons

Summoning weapons conjure a long-lasting projectile that attacks the enemy for you.

Minions

Minions follow the player around and can either deal contact damage to an enemy or shoot a projectile at it.

Sporeball Staff
Aqua Blaster Core
Mossy Hornet Staff
Guardian Staff

Whips

Whips do not summon a minion or a sentry, but instead act as a close-range weapon. Upon hitting an enemy, the enemy will become the target of summoned minions and benefits may be provided.

Milkyway Cleaver

Throwing Weapons

Throwing weapons usually throw out a ranged projectile of the weapon. In this mod, there are now non-consumable weapons, and they cost mana to use. There are also consumable weapons, though.

Javelins

Javelins are some of the longest throwing weapons, and they usually follow a straight-ish path before arcing downwards. Some javelins may stick to enemies, similar to the vanilla Bone Javelin.

Meteor Spear
Streaodous
Shadow Javelin
Frost Javelin
Bloody Pike
Festive Javelin
Poseiron's Trident
Satellite Spear

Throwing Knives

Throwing knives are rather small throwing weapons that fly in an arc, similar in behavior to the vanilla Throwing Knife. However, this category is not limited to knives, and includes both weapons that resemble throwing knives in terms of behavior and weapons that resemble throwing knives in terms of appearance.

Copper Knife
Tin Knife
Iron Knife
Lead Knife
Silver Knife
Tungsten Knife

Lumi Knife

Explosives

Explosives are throwing weapons that burst into other damaging projectiles, such as shrapnel or just an explosion hitbox. Examples of explosives include bombs and grenades. While they do not "explode" like other explosives do, flasks still burst into other projectiles and do not fall under any other category here, and as such, they are considered explosives for the purposes of this chart.

Logic Bomb
Brimstone Bomb
Fireball Brew
Accursed Flask
Ichored Flask
Forbidden Smoke Bomb
Chlorophyte Bomb
Nano Missile
Festive Eggnog
Unholy Hand Grenade
Dragon's Grenade

Boomerangs

Boomerangs are throwing weapons that return to the player. While most boomerangs in vanilla Terraria are considered melee weapons, boomerangs added by Magnumiactus are considered throwing weapons, mostly to put the throwing class around the same level as other weapon classes. They are never consumable.
