Teleporting beam dynamics and focused impact
Dropped by the Martian Saucer during the Martian Madness event, the Influx Waver is a powerful post-Golem broadsword. Each swing strikes for 100 base melee damage with 4.5 knockback while firing a glowing cyan energy projectile. Upon striking an enemy, this projectile warps through space and re-emerges to strike the target up to two additional times from varying angles, dealing full weapon damage with each secondary hit.
Zenith crafting requirement and Terra Blade comparison
Beyond its combat prowess, the Influx Waver is an essential crafting ingredient used to forge the ultimate sword, Zenith, at a Mythril Anvil or Orichalcum Anvil. Compared to the Terra Blade, which focuses on broad piercing slashes, the Influx Waver delivers superior concentrated burst damage against solitary bosses. Its warping blades make it particularly effective against flying targets that move erratically. The Legendary modifier is optimal, increasing damage, swing speed, and critical strike rate.
Trivia
- The secondary warp slashes can trigger on distant enemies if the primary target dies from the initial impact.
- Each successive teleport strike generates distinct sound effects and cyan particle sparks.
