Anchor

The Anchor is a Hardmode melee weapon which acts in a similar fashion to the Harpoon, firing an anchor projectile in an arc. The projectile remains attached to the player via a rope and is heavily affected by gravity. It returns upon reaching a maximum distance or impacting a tile or enemy, and damages any enemies in its return path. The Anchor is found in or which are obtained from fishing after the Wall of Flesh has been defeated.
== Tips ==
* Since the projectile itself is comparably large and its return trip can pierce unlimited enemies, throwing it past a group of enemies and pulling it through them is an effective strategy, making the Anchor very useful for controlling large groups of enemies.
* It is most useful early Hardmode, quickly being outclassed by better weapons as the player progresses.
== Trivia ==
* The Anchor can be considered a Hardmode upgrade of the pre-Hardmode Harpoon.
