Terraria (Wiki): Gungnir
Everything you need to know
General Information
The Gungnir is an Ore Spear that pierces enemies.
A Gungnir cannot autoswing. Its attack reaches 17 tiles in radius. At an optimal distance, the Gungnir can pierce eight enemies. However, multiple bodies will be damaged should they all line up for the player. It is one of the key components in crafting the Tonbogiri (3DS).
When normally used, the Gungnir will emit light particles common in the Hallowed theme. It creates a small shockwave at the tip when used, but attacks do not go through walls.
The Gungnir has the strongest knockback, highest base damage, and slowest use time among Ore Spears.
Combat-wise, all Flask items will imbue their unique effects since the Gungnir is a melee weapon.
The Gungnir is best modified with Godly or Demonic for overall stats improvement. Both modifiers equally increase the average damage output.
