Stardust armor

Stardust armor is a post-Moon Lord set of armor that provides summon weapon boosts. It is currently the final summoner set available on the. Crafting the full set requires a total of 36 Luminite Bars (144 Luminite) and 45 Stardust Fragments. Wearing the full set increases the wearer's minion capacity by 5 (to a total of 6), along with granting +66% minion damage.

Equipping a full set of Stardust armor causes a unique Stardust Guardian minion to follow the wearer. It is passive until activated by double-tapping the key, which places it at the nearest block surface beneath the cursor position. Once placed, the Guardian becomes a sentry-style minion that can chase enemies for very short distances before returning to its original position. It periodically triggers explosions that deal 20 damage and cause enemies in the blast radius to target the Guardian instead of the player. It is deactivated by holding the key, which causes it to return to following the player passively. The Stardust Guardian does not count against the player's minion capacity.

In the, the Stardust Guardian has a different function and form of attack: It is passive until an enemy is within a 30 block radius to the player, causing it to quickly charge through even blocks to the enemy, which it then strikes rapidly with a flurry of punches that each deal 28-30 summon damage. After there are no hostile entities within range, the Stardust guardian will return to following the player passively.

Tips

 * Using Stardust armor and accessories and buffs, it is possible to have 11 minions, not counting the Stardust Guardian.
 * While it's a potent offensive set, Stardust armor has relatively low defense, and while its ability to attack any enemies that come within a far distance of the player compensates somewhat, the Stardust Guardian does not protect the user against projectiles which leaves them vulnerable. The Valhalla Knight's Breastplate can be substituted into the set to provide much greater survivability, sacrificing the Guardian, and two minion slots.
 * The Stardust Guardian can move through blocks to attack a hostile mob whether or not has targeted the player. This can be exploited by walling yourself in, allowing the Guardian to take care of enemies.

Trivia

 * The Stardust Guardian was originally created as a reference to Algalon the Observer from the massively multiplayer online role-playing game .
 * Stardust Jojo ref.png to the community's enthusiasm in comparing Stardust armor to the manga and anime JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders, Yoraiz0r has acknowledged the resemblance and said the armor can be a reference.
 * This is likely the origin of the Stardust Guardian's 1.4 rework, where it delivers a flurry of punches similar to the series' "Star Platinum".
