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

 * If they want the invasion gone, 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 the rank-and-file, so focus on him will help obtain them.
