Earthen Pike

The Earthern Pike is a Hardmode spear dropped by the Earth Elemental. Enemies struck by this weapon are inflicted with the Armor Crunch debuff, greatly reducing their defense temporarily. On swing, the spear releases four fossil shards that deal 50 percent of the spear's damage and can additionally inflict Armor Crunch. The fossil shards are affected by gravity, and cannot travel upward; aiming the spear's swing further upward will only cause the shards to be fired with less horizontal speed.
