Yoyos
They are visually attached to the player by a string and bounce off enemies on hit.[1] Magic String causes yoyos to be thrown without retracting, and these accessories can be upgraded to combine their effects.[1] The remaining spin duration decreases by 1/3 second per enemy hit, or by a full second if damage is reduced due to being out of line of sight.[1] When used, yoyos are thrown melee weapons that track the player's cursor for a set duration.[1]
String boosts reach, Counterweights create a special projectile upon enemy contact, and the Yoyo Glove generates an orbiting duplicate of the yoyo after striking an enemy.[1] Damage from any yoyo is cut by 25% when a solid block lies between it and the player.[1] Attack speed cannot be altered for yoyos; instead, melee speed extends their reach.[1]
Types
The Wooden Yoyo has 9 damage, a reach of 8.125 tiles, and a spin duration of 3 seconds.[2] The Cascade has a 1/400 drop chance from Underworld enemies after Skeletron is defeated during pre-Hardmode and can inflict the On Fire! debuff.[2] A total of 21 yoyo types exist, with 12 available only in Hardmode.[2]
Tips
Attacking the middle of a crowd makes the yoyo bounce between enemies, and attacking from the sides can regroup scattered enemies.[3]
Trivia
Yoyos marked with the One Drop YoYos logo have real-life counterparts, and One Drop released real-world versions of the Kraken and Terrarian.[4]
