 Strung Counterweight | 1 × White String, 1 × Yellow Counterweight | Tinkerer's Workshop |
Surface trader stock and golden projectile launch
Purchased for 5 gold from the nomadic Traveling Merchant when his randomized storefront arrives at your town. Landing a hit on an enemy using any yoyo launches a bright yellow counterweight that arcs around the user. The satellite weight strikes neighboring monsters for damage matching the primary yoyo, granting melee fighters valuable area defense against encroaching hordes.
Yoyo loadout integration and string assembly
Unlike the cavern-bound merchant inventory, acquiring this variant depends on nomadic merchant arrival timing rather than lunar phases. At a Tinkerer's Workshop, combining this weight with any string produces a Strung Counterweight. Merging that result with a Yoyo Glove crafts the coveted Yoyo Bag, boosting melee range and deploying dual counterweights during intense encounters.
Trivia
- The yellow counterweight is one of two counterweights sold by the Traveling Merchant, alongside the black variant.
- Equipping the item in a vanity slot paints existing counterweight projectiles bright yellow.
- Strikes delivered by the counterweight can trigger weapon on-hit effects like fire or poison.
