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 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. However, the comparative availability of ammunition causes the Megashark to be more useful all-around.
 * In Journey Mode, Fallen Stars can be researched and infinitely duplicated, 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 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.
 * 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.
