The Rod of Ensnaring is a pre-Hardmode wand that can be found inside Pumpkin Chests in the Creepy Catacombs or inside Bone Crates. When used, it fires a short-lived Thorn Ball that can pierce twice. It has a 20% chance to inflict the hit target with Poisoned, Ensnared, and Ensnared Cooldown debuffs simultaneously and only if the target is not afflicted with Ensnared Cooldown. Ensnared reduces the horizontal velocity of non-boss targets by 80% per frame and increases their vertical velocity by 0.1 per frame.

Its best modifier is Mythical.

Notes

• If the target is a boss, the duration of Poisoned will be increased to 5 seconds.
• If the target can go through solid tiles, Ensnared will increase their vertical velocity by 0.01 per frame instead of 0.1.
