The Nemesis is a Hardmode, post-Lunatic Cultist warhammer crafted using Solar Fragments. Like all warhammers, it deals high damage and knockback only on its head, reducing hit enemies' defense by 50 points with the Hammered debuff and also inflicting five seconds of Daybroken for lingering damage. Right-clicking or landing a hit with the main swing summons a swarm of five meteor-like projectiles from the sky that converge roughly on the player's cursor and disappear on impact with any enemy or terrain, allowing it to deal damage at range.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Trivia

• It is named after Nemesis, a hypothetical star suggested to be orbiting the Sun beyond the Oort cloud to explain the regularity of mass extinction events in the Earth's past. Its alternate function of raining down projectiles alludes to how Nemesis would cause these events in theory by sending asteroids from the Oort Cloud towards the inner solar system.
• It is one of four weapons added by the Polarities Mod crafted using Lunar Fragments, alongside the Celestial Storm, Nebula Ray, and Stardust Tower Orb. Of these, only the Nebula Ray does not correspond to a Polarities-exclusive weapon subclass, as magic weapons do not generally have subtypes in a way that affects gameplay, but it was added to complete the "set" of one new lunar weapon for each class.
