Flying Knife

Hallowed chest loot and cursor-directed blade control

Obtained as a drop from the Hallowed Mimic with a 25% drop rate in the Hallow. The weapon releases a controllable flying dagger that flies toward the cursor at a Very fast rate (use time 15). It deals 40 base melee damage with 4.5 knockback and remains suspended in flight indefinitely as long as the attack button is held down, allowing players to steer the blade around obstacles.

Tactical melee kiting and defensive pressure

Unlike yoyos that are bound by string lengths or return timers, the Flying Knife offers infinite hang time and directional steering. It allows players to harass hostile swarms from behind protective doorways, around corners, or down narrow vertical shafts while avoiding counterattacks. It complements melee loadouts featuring the Warrior Emblem before transitioning toward late-game throwing weapons like the Shadowflame Knife and Vampire Knives. Godly is the optimal reforge modifier.

Trivia

• The blade stays in continuous flight indefinitely as long as the player maintains the attack input.
• Players can maneuver the knife around corners and through narrow gaps to strike monsters without taking return fire.
