Terraria Overhaul/Pickaxes

The Pickaxe is one of the tools any newly-made character will start the game with. Its primary function is to mine blocks and ores, though the tool has been given new properties in Terraria Overhaul to make it slightly more useful in combat.

Additions & Changes
Flurry Attack

The pickaxe now has a charged attack, usable by clicking the Right Mouse Button. This attack consists of three rapid swings with the pickaxe that do not destroy tiles.

As with most other melee charged attacks, the player will also be boosted somewhat in the direction of the cursor when the weapon is swung.

Velocity Based Damage

As with most other melee weapons, damage dealt may be increased up to a x3 multiplier depending on the velocity of both the player and the target when an attack lands.

Head strikes

Precisely hitting an enemy's head will increase damage by 5%, always giving at least +1 damage point. An exclamation point (!) will appear after damage numbers when a head hit occurs.
