Tax Collector demise and rapid blunt strikes
The Classy Cane is acquired as a rare drop when the town Tax Collector perishes, having a 12.5% drop rate upon his demise. Striking in a tight melee swing arc, this eccentric weapon inflicts 40 base melee damage per blow. While its physical reach is short like a club or baton, it boasts rapid swinging that allows players to batter nearby foes in quick succession.
Close-quarters burst pacing and prefix options
With a Very fast attack speed of 15 ticks, the cane outputs considerable close-range burst damage against isolated targets. Its low base knockback of 3.5 requires careful footwork, as incoming enemies will not be shoved far away during trades. Available as soon as a Tortured Soul is purified in the Underworld, it can serve as a quirky early Hardmode pocket weapon before dedicated ore broadswords are forged. The Legendary modifier maximizes weapon scale, attack speed, and critical impact.
Trivia
- The Tax Collector NPC is inspired by Ebenezer Scrooge from A Christmas Carol, making the Classy Cane a nod to Victorian walking sticks.
