Magnet Sphere



The Magnet Sphere is a post-Plantera Hardmode magic weapon that casts a glowing sphere where the player aims. It is obtained as a rare drop from the Blue Armored Bones, Rusty Armored Bones, Hell Armored Bones or Bone Lee in the Hardmode Dungeon.

When cast, it fires a slow cyan sphere that travels in a straight line. The sphere will rapidly shoot beams at the closest enemy as it travels through the air. It will disappear if the central orb hits a solid object or has gone 52 blocks, or if it has been in the air for 7 seconds. If the player casts another sphere while there is already one in the air, the previous one will fade away.

The best Modifier for the Magnet Sphere is Mythical.

Tips

 * This weapon is great for dealing with large hordes of enemies because it auto-targets the next enemy after its target has been killed.
 * This weapon is best used in conjunction with the Spectre Armor, since it does a great amount of damage very fast, meaning an important healing capability.
 * After you cast a sphere, you can focus on other things while the sphere does its damage.
 * The Magnet Sphere is not adept at enclosed spaces, as it dissipates on collision with blocks.
 * The Magnet Sphere does not appear to have the "auto-targeting" laser effect in PvP. If the sphere contacts another player it will still damage them however
 * This is a great weapon to defeat faster enemies such as Bone Lee.
 * While the sphere is in air you can use other weapons.
 * This weapon is useful to pick off Diabolists and Necromancers as it will instantly target them as they teleport.

Trivia

 * It may be a reference to the game Metro 2033, when in a gallery appears a magnet sphere that kills everything it touches. Terraria and Metro 2033' sphere look the same.
