A banjo is a two-handed short blunt melee weapon.

Usage

Weapon

The banjo can attack up to 3 enemies at a time dealing a maximum of 0.6 damage to enemies (unless a critical hit) from up to 1.25 tiles away at an attack speed of 1.1. It has a high endurance cost, straining users quickly.

Breaking doors

It can be used to bash down doors, dealing 5 damage per hit.

Condition

The banjo has a maximum condition of 3. Its rate of degradation is influenced by the short blunt and maintenance skills. The chance of losing durability can be simplified to the following formula: 1 in (2 + maintenanceMod × 2). Where "maintenanceMod" is calculated using the short blunt and maintenance skills.
Below is an example of the chance of losing durability at varying levels of maintenance and short blunt levels.

*For how this is calculated, see: Durability*
Maintenance skill	Weapon skill	Durability lower chance
0	0	1/2 (50%)
0	4	1/4 (25%)
0	8	1/6 (17%)
4	0	1/6 (17%)
8	0	1/10 (10%)
4	4	1/8 (13%)
4	8	1/10 (10%)
8	8	1/14 (7%)
10	10	1/16 (6%)
