Guide:Martian Madness strategies

The Martian Madness is a post-Golem event. It will only happen when the Player finds a in the wild, and then lets it escape into Space.

Event
During the invasion, the player will find many strong enemies with different attacks, such as:
 * , which are the basic enemy of the event.
 * , who possess a similar behavior, but with lower stats and the ability to shoot lasers from their gun.
 * Occasionally, it will spawn riding on a, becoming a Scutlix Gunner. The Scutilx moves very fast, deals high contact damage and its rider will shoot lasers, making this a deadly enemy. The Scutlix Gunner has a low chance to drop the , which will allow the player to ride a Scutlix of their own.
 * are a very fast enemy that can quickly shoot lasers, have a lot of health and are immune to knockback. Due to their tall size and low jumps, they can easily get stuck on blocks.
 * are small enemies with low damage and health. They can only attack by charging at a player, self-destructing itself on contact. It's the only enemy in the invasion that can go through blocks.
 * behave like Gray Grunts, but they inflict the debuff on hit, which causes a player to rapidly lose health when moving.
 * have low stats but instead of attacking, they can deploy, which shoot an electric projectile at the player, which inflicts the Electrified debuff. The Engineers should be killed quickly, as they can easily overwhelm a player with Turrets.
 * spawn protected by a Bubble Shield, which will need to be killed before the player can harm it. If the Officer isn't killed quickly after the Bubble Shield is destroyed, it will activate again.
 * are similar to Ray Gunners, with their projectile inflicting the debuff on hit.
 * The Martian Saucer is the boss of the event. It will alternate between firing lasers from its turrets at the player's position, shooting homing missiles from its Cannons, and then following the player while attacking with its Deathray. After its Turrets and Cannons have been destroyed, the player will be able to damage its Core, and its Deathray will deal much more damage. The Saucer will also move more aggressively than before. When killed, it will drop an unique weapon or item.

Piranha Gun on Martian Saucer
Unlike most bosses, the Martian Saucer does not possess any attacks capable of penetrating blocks. This can be exploited by latching onto the boss with the Piranha Gun and quickly going inside a safe bunker with walls and ceilings four blocks thick. To quickly exit and enter the bunker, do not make a "door" using Active Stone Blocks and Pressure Plates, because sometimes after the Piranha Gun is latched onto the Saucer, small enemies will follow the player into the bunker and can't be killed while the player remains latched onto the Saucer. Instead, use Teleporters between the inside and the top of the bunker. The player will need to reattach the Piranha Gun when the boss enters its second stage, but for the most part, they can simply wait as the Piranha Gun continuously deals damage while the boss is unable to attack.
