Flails are weapons that fly out from the player and drop sharply almost

instantly, dealing massive amounts of damage and returning to the player after being thrown, passing through and damaging even more enemies.

They lie somewhere between melee and ranged weapons. They aren't good for fighting off enemies from multiple angles or single, fast-moving enemies. They are devastating against enemies with many segments or tightly-packed clusters of enemies, such as the Eater of Worlds.

As of patch 1.0.6, if you hold down the left mouse button the flail will now stay out and not return to you. And, will continue to damage enemies while it is out. Also, the size of the flail's spiked ball has been reduced. As of version 1.1.1, flails can no longer be reforged with any size modifiers, ruling out Legendary and leaving the best prefix as "Godly".

There are currently five flails.

• Harpoon is a rare drop from Goblins.
• The Ball O' Hurt can be found from Shadow Orbs.
• The Blue Moon can be found in dungeon chests.
• The Sunfury can be found in Shadow Chests in the Underworld .
• The Dao of Pow has to be crafted with: Dark Shard, Light Shard, Soul of Night (10) and Soul of Light (10).
