Hmm... I'm kind of unsure about this, because it was made to be a tinkered weapon. Maybe you could just use the Anchor instead? It is still a Hardmode weapon, after all.

That was kind of the reaction I expected, Baconfry was the one that was adamant on it. Yeah the fact that it would have to get changed a bit to fit was why I was skeptical... (as the enemy in question is a mini boss for our underground ocean (which is hardmode dungeon tier))
