Synergies[edit]

  • Impaler (Weapon) Icon.png Impaler can be used with this item to back enemies into walls and then teleport to them, allowing Impaler to crit, though this method is slightly unreliable.
  • The War Javelin can also be used to teleport to enemies after attacking a few times, allowing the player to initiate the fight with the later attacks of a weapon's combo.
    • This is usually useful for weapons which have the majority of their damage located at the last few hits, such as Giantkiller Icon.png Giantkiller.
  • The War Javelin also will let slower weapons, such as the Broadsword Icon.png Broadsword, to get more hits of their combo in.
  • This weapon is affected by the mutation Ammo Mutation Icon.png Ammo.
    • When using Ammo Mutation Icon.png Ammo, the player will first throw the second War Javelin before being able to teleport. After reactivating the weapon, the player will usually teleport to the first War Javelin if the second one is still traveling in the air.

Notes[edit]

  • If the Javelin is placed in the backpack, and the mutation Acrobatipack Mutation Icon.png Acrobatipack is applied, the javelin can be thrown multiple times without being collected or returned. The teleporting function of the Javelin is also ignored.
