Rod of Discord



The Rod of Discord is a Hardmode tool that instantly teleports the player to the mouse cursor. It has a 0.2% (1/500) (chance of being dropped by Chaos Elementals.

Using the Rod costs no mana or ammunition, however each use inflicts the Chaos State debuff on the player, which causes the player to lose health if they use the Rod in rapid succession. Chaos State lasts for 6 / 9  seconds after each use, and takes away 1/7th  / 1/6th  of the player's maximum health if the Rod is used again during that period.

Tips

 * If this item is used correctly it has the potential to become one of the best items for maneuvering the map. For instance, it is very useful for capturing Truffle Worms, as you can catch them almost immediately upon materializing. (In the, the Truffle Worm will not disappear when approached)
 * Setting your resolution to maximum will allow you to see farther, so you can teleport farther distances.
 * This item is priceless for dodging the high-damage attacks of bosses.
 * Attempting to teleport into the Jungle Temple before Plantera is defeated will not work. It will work after Plantera is defeated, even allowing the player into a locked Jungle Temple without giving up a Temple Key.
 * Since using this item is one of the few ways to hurt yourself at any given time, it can be used with the Shrimpy Truffle to activate the speed boost.
 * If you use this with Shroomite armor it will not make you visible.
 * If one is willing to do so, this can be useful when defeating the Dungeon Guardian. Paired with the Cosmic Car Key the user should never die to the guardian.
 * This item is useful for getting the Frequent Flyer Achievement, due to the high, controllable damage the Chaos State debuff inflicts.

Trivia

 * Dying from teleporting during the Chaos State will display unique death messages:
 * "'s legs appeared where his/her head should be"
 * " didn't materialize"
 * In the, it does not properly display the death message, and instead either message has a chance to show:
 * "'s legs appeared where his head should be" (Still possible if character is female)
 * "'s legs appeared where her head should be" (Still possible if character is male)
 * Due to the incredibly low spawn rate of Chaos Elementals in the Mobile version, it is nearly impossible to obtain this item on mobile devices.
 * On the, if a player slides the slider that allows use of a tool with the Rod of Discord in their hand, it will teleport them to the same spot where they were standing, while still applying the Chaos State debuff and/or damaging them.
 * The Chaos State debuff was introduced to combat the problem of being able to use the Rod of Discord repeatedly, granting the user an arguably overpowered method of transportation or evasion.
