Meowmere
A celestial blade forged from lunar malice and feline whimsy
The Meowmere is a Hardmode broadsword that has a 1/5 (20%) chance of being dropped by the Moon Lord . When swung, it fires a cat head projectile with a visual rainbow trail every 0.23 seconds. The cat head deals 125% of the weapon's damage (250 base damage), is affected by gravity, and can pierce enemies or bounce off blocks up to four times. Upon bouncing off a block, the cat head makes a "meow" sound and emits damaging rainbow explosions that grow in size with each bounce. Its best modifier is Legendary . - Meowmere - Internal Item ID : 3063 - Internal Projectile ID : 502 - 1 Crafting 1.1 Used in - 2 Notes - 3 Tips - 4 Trivia - 5 See also - 6 History - 7 References

Lore & Background
Legend speaks of the sword's origin being tied to the Nyan Cat meme, a burst of digital joy transmutated into physical reality by the chaotic forces of the universe. As the wielder swings the blade, it does not simply cut; it summons spectral feline heads that arc through the air like comets, trailing rainbows of pure mana. These phantom cats bounce off the very fabric of the world, leaving behind expanding explosions of prismatic light that tear through armies. It is a weapon that demands respect not for its terrifying roar, but for the eerie silence and the soft meow that precedes total annihilation.
In Their Own Story
The projectile struck the stone floor with a soft chime, bouncing once before erupting into a growing sphere of multicolored light. Then another, and another, the meow echoing in the cavernous space like a ghostly greeting. You watched in awe as the explosions cascaded across the room, each bounce larger than the last, devouring the shadowy remnants of the battle. It was beautiful and terrifying all at once, a dance of destruction that sounded like a purr. In your hand, the sword felt lighter now, ready to unleash its whimsical fury upon any who dared stand against you.
Reader's Guide
Maximize its potential by using the Legendary modifier for increased damage and speed. Be mindful of your positioning; while the projectiles are powerful, they can be reflected back at you by enemies like the Selenian. For the ultimate melee experience, combine this with high defense gear to survive the close-quarters chaos it encourages.
