Blessed Apple

The Blessed Apple is a Hardmode Mount summoning item. When used, it summons a rideable Unicorn Mount that gives the player an extra jump as well as the ability to sprint and charge through enemies. It is dropped at a 1/150 (0.67%) chance in Expert Mode and a 1/200 (0.50%) in Normal Mode by all Hallow enemies.

Once a high speed is reached, the Unicorn emits a sparkle effect. The Unicorn will also damage enemies on contact. The invulnerability is granted for 1/10 second when the player and the Unicorn dash through an enemy, much like the brief invulnerability after taking damage. Dashing through enemies while riding this mount will deal 80 base damage excluding defense to them. This damage benefits from effects that boost the damage of summons.



Achievement
Rainbows and Unicorns is the achievement you earn for firing a Rainbow Gun while riding a Unicorn Mount.

Tips

 * The Unicorn mount is arguably one of the best pre-Plantera mounts for its damage protection and ability to attack when moving at high speed.
 * Mounting the Unicorn while dashing using the Shield of Cthulhu (and items of similar effect) will allow you to reach the Unicorn's max speed instantly.

Trivia

 * All items providing an extra jump, like the Cloud in a Bottle, will stack with the mount, allowing a triple jump. If a Bundle of Balloons is equipped, it's possible to jump 5 times before hitting the ground.
 * When using the Double jump, you have a green and yellow sparkling effect in the mount's trail. The color of the particles created by double jumping, as well as charging, are affected by Dye.
 * When using the Terra Blade, Yoyos, the Minishark, or any other auto firing weapon while you move will cause the Unicorn to "moon walk".
 * The Unicorn on flat ground travels at the same speed as an unmodified Terra beam.
