The Inferno Fork being used. Note the lasting explosion that damages over time.

The Inferno Fork is a Hardmode, post-Plantera wand that has a 1/20 (5%) / 39/400 (9.75%) chance of being dropped by Diabolists in the Hardmode Dungeon. When used, it fires a fireball that causes a lingering explosion upon contact with an enemy or a block. The explosion hits repeatedly, dealing 75% of the weapon's damage (52 base damage). The fireball and the explosion also inflict the Hellfire debuff for 8–15 seconds.

Its best modifier is Mythical.

Notes

• The explosion lasts for 2.25 seconds and deals damage within a 9.375×9.375-tile square centered on the point of impact.^[1]
• Unlike most fire-based weapons, the Inferno Fork works under water, but the speed of projectiles is reduced.

Achievements

Tips

• The Inferno Fork can be used to easily battle huge amounts of enemies at once due to the cloud its fireballs create. This cloud can be exceptionally useful during events, or if the player is being overwhelmed by large groups of foes.
