Kaleidoscope

{{drop infobox|style=(demo).gif|frame|right|Attacking with the Kaleidoscope.]]

The Kaleidoscope is a post-Plantera whip that has a {{chance|1/4}} chance of being dropped by the Empress of Light boss.

Like other whips, it causes minions to focus on the last-struck enemy and increases their damage against the target.

Tips

 * Due to its high base damage, range, tag damage, and extra summon tag critical strike chance, it is the most powerful whip in the game.
 * However, the speed boost and dark energy from the Dark Harvest may be preferable in certain situations.
 * The Firecracker can also outperform it against single targets, especially when used with the Stardust Dragon.
 * The Kaleidoscope's large range and bright particles can make it useful for finding caves or exploring underground.
 * The Kaleidoscope synergizes very well with the Blade Staff, because of the Kaleidoscope's high summon tag damage.

Trivia

 * A is an optical device that uses reflecting surfaces to create regular, symmetrical, and usually very colorful patterns when one looks into it.
 * Unlike most other Rainbow themed weapons, the Kaleidoscope does not have secret color themes for developers and beta testers.
 * It is the only weapon dropped by the Empress of Light that doesn't resemble any of her attacks.
