Nimbus Rod

The Nimbus Rod is a Hardmode Magic Weapon that fires small clouds which remain in midair at the point clicked, causing damaging "rain" projectiles to fire downward. Rain projectiles fire one at a time, though rapidly, causing 36 damage each and piercing multiple enemies. The Nimbus Rod has a 1/15 (6.7%) chance of dropping from an Angry Nimbus.

The Nimbus Rod can be considered the Hardmode upgrade of the Crimson Rod, as it operates similarly, but inflicts triple the damage and can cause two clouds to remain simultaneously, rather than just one. If the player attempts to create a third cloud, the oldest cloud vanishes. Clouds remain for a maximum of 60 seconds.

Because the Nimbus Rod has no knockback, it cannot receive any Modifiers that affect knockback, including Mythical and Ruthless. Its best possible modifier is Demonic.

Tips

 * The projectiles produced by clouds inflict a high rate of damage for a significant amount of time at a stationary location, making the Nimbus Rod an ideal weapon to have during fights against large enemies like Bosses. You will need another weapon, however, to fire while the clouds are in place.
 * With a full Orichalcum armor set, a flower petal falls on each damaged enemy.
 * Can be used to efficiently farm Ice Golems, provided the player builds a wall to hide behind while the Nimbus Clouds damage it.
 * Helpful against Golem: Before summoning, fire the Cloud above the Lihzahrd Altar, then summon the Golem. The clouds will deal around 750-1500 damage before Golem moves.
 * Makes an effective shield against destructible projectiles.
 * Effective for statue farms: Put clouds over the statue(s) while they spawn enemies.
 * A great weapon against The Destroyer due to the Rod's piercing ability and the Destroyer's large size. Paired with another penetrating weapon and Orichalcum armor, the boss can be defeated with little effort.
 * Effective against Wyverns due to their AI and size. Place one or two about ten blocks away from the player whenever one spawns and get it to attempt an attack from the sides. Then simply keep dodging, renewing the clouds until it dies. Excellent for farming Wings.
