| Slime Spear | 50 × Gel | Solidifier |
Solidifier molding and extended piercing thrusts
Crafted from 50 Gel at a Solidifier, this polearm extends a translucent gelatinous tip outward to impale approaching foes. Delivering 12 base melee damage with 6.5 knockback, it thrusts at Fast velocity with a 24 animation cycle. Unlike swinging blades, spears strike multiple times through enemy hitboxes along their full thrust length, keeping approaching monsters at a comfortable distance while interrupting their forward movement with substantial knockback.
Early polearm alternatives and optimal reforge modifier
The weapon compares favorably against the surface chest-looted Spear and aquatic Trident, providing dependable crowd suppression without relying on underground chest exploration luck. Its multi-hit capability proves effective against swarming zombies during early Blood Moons and crawling worms in rocky caverns. Because spears cannot accept speed-increasing melee prefixes, Godly provides the best modifier, granting maximum increases to raw damage, critical strike chance, and knockback.
Trivia
- The Slime Spear was introduced in Terraria 1.4.5 to expand the utility of gel crafting stations.
- Like other spears, it can attack through single-block walls if the tip passes through the boundary.
