Pirate Captain

The Pirate Captain is a Hardmode enemy which appears during a Pirate Invasion. It attacks using an assault rifle-like gun that shoots at a speed comparable to the Minishark, then stops to fire its underbarrel mounted cannon. The cannonball has a short range and detonates upon impact with blocks, much like those fired from the.

Pirate Captains are immune to knockback. When the Pirate Captain is killed a Pirate's Curse spawns, and will slowly drift towards the player through walls much like Wraiths. Unlike the Captain, the Pirate's Curse is affected by knockback.

Tips

 * Players should focus on taking out other pirates first, as Pirate Captains will spawn again after killing the first one, and make the same amount of progress after being killed.
 * Like the Flying Dutchman, he has a significantly higher chance to drop the rare items than other enemies, so focusing on him will help obtain said items.
