One of the swords to craft the zenith
Better than dirt
It does 2 damage but sets stuff on fire
It shoots really fast; also it shoots bats that pierce forever.
It can hit two mobs with one shot, is insanely fast, does fire damage, and you can make it move anywhere onscreen. It also has the option to track mobs if you don't want to control it. It is very useful well into Hardmode, and the only downside is that you get it kind of late into pre-hardmode.
