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.

Tips

 * A skybridge can be used to farm Fallen Stars efficiently.
 * The Star Cannon 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, providing slightly more DPS than the Clockwork Assault Rifle while piercing an infinite number of enemies. However, the comparative availability of ammunition causes the Clockwork Assault Rifle to be more useful all-around.
 * In Journey Mode, Fallen Stars can be researched then infinitely duplicated and easily farmed using the time control power, negating any concern for ammo availability. This feature makes the Star Cannon an especially powerful choice for Journey Mode players.
 * Since the Star Cannon cannot deal critical hits, the best pre-mechanical boss set for this weapon consists of the Frost Helmet, Adamantite Breastplate, and Necro Greaves.
 * If many stars are farmed, this weapon proves a useful tool against the Wall of Flesh as it will pierce through the many Hungries as well as dealing damage to the main boss.
 * If a skybridge is used to fight The Destroyer, and you can get the boss to move exactly horizontally across the bridge chasing you, you can continuously pummel it with the Star Cannon for an insane amount of damage across its entire body.
