The Fruitcake Chakram attacking a Target Dummy.

The Fruitcake Chakram is a pre-Hardmode boomerang dropped from Presents obtained during the Christmas seasonal event, with a chance of 0.626% in pre-Hardmode and 0.584% in Hardmode. It does not bounce off blocks.

Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount. However, Ruthless might be preferred if the player already has very high critical strike chance.

Notes

• The Fruitcake Chakram can travel for 0.5 seconds before it starts decelerating, and eventually turning around to return towards the player. This results in having a maximum range of roughly 23.44 tiles.^[1]
  • Melee speed bonuses increase the boomerang's velocity, which in turn increases its range.
    • Conversely, liquids will slow down the boomerang and reduce its range.
  • As soon as the boomerang begins decelerating, it gains infinite piercing and becomes capable of going through solid tiles. This allows it to hit enemies multiple times near end of its maximum range and slightly penetrate into tiles.
• The Fruitcake Chakram has a top speed of 61 mph when returning to player, and can only exist for up to 1 minute before despawning. It will also despawn if its distance from the player is more than 187.5 tiles.

Trivia

• A chakram is a weapon historically used in India. It is a flat metal ring with a sharp outer edge that was thrown at the enemy, but it would not return.
