Stardust armor



Stardust armor is a late-game Hardmode armor set that provides summon weapon boosts. Crafting the full set requires a total of 36 Luminite Bars (144 Luminite) and 45 Stardust Fragments.

In total, Stardust armor pieces apply the following boosts:
 * +5 minion capacity
 * +66% minion damage

Equipping a full set of Stardust armor causes a unique Stardust Guardian minion to follow the wearer. It is passive until activated by double-tapping the key, which places it at the nearest block surface beneath the cursor position. Once placed, the Guardian becomes a sentry-style minion that cannot move, and it periodically triggers explosions that cause enemies in the blast radius to target the Guardian instead of the player. It is deactivated by holding the key, which causes it to return to following the player passively. The Stardust Guardian does not count against the player's minion capacity.

Tips

 * Using Stardust armor, it is possible to have 11 minions plus the Guardian.
 * The Stardust Guardian does not count towards the player's total minions. Take this into account when attempting to earn the "You and What Army?" achievement.

Trivia

 * Stardust Guardian is likely a reference to stands in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, working similar to how they work in JoJo. The stands appeared in part three of the manga, named Stardust Crusaders.
