Star Cannon



The Star Cannon is a ranged weapon that fires Fallen Stars. Stars are launched from the cannon at 52.5 blocks (105 feet) per second and persist for exactly 1 minute after being launched, ultimately traveling 3150 blocks, or 6300 feet, and piercing through enemies along the way. After the star reaches this point, or when it impacts a solid block, it dissipates into light-emitting particles.

As it is incapable of landing critical hits, Deadly is a better modifier

Tips

 * A skybridge can be used to farm Fallen Stars efficiently.
 * The Star Cannon, given enough ammo, can do tremendous amounts of damage and is by far the best Pre-Hardmode ranged weapon, in terms of . It is still useful well into Hardmode, with its base damage outclassing even that of the Megashark, but the comparative availability of ammunition for each weapon causes the Megashark to be more useful all-around.
 * In Journey mode, of course, Fallen Stars can be researched and infinitely duplicated just like anything else, making the ammo concern entirely moot. This makes the Star Cannon an especially powerful choice for Journey mode players.
 * Since the Star Cannon cannot deal critical hits and does not receive any bonuses from any of the 3 Shroomite Helmets, the best pre- set for this weapon consists of the Chlorophyte Helmet, Red Riding Dress and Hallowed Greaves
