Starfury



The Starfury is a sword that summons a star projectile from the sky when swung. The star falls to the location of the mouse cursor upon use, emitting light particles and piercing up to two enemies, but dealing no knockback. The Starfury can only be obtained from Skyware Chests,, or on Floating Islands.

Its best modifier on the is Godly, as it cannot be given melee modifiers.

Tips

 * The Starfury can be used to reveal caves, as its light particles continue traveling 10 to 35 tiles downward after colliding with blocks.
 * The Magma Stone, Fire Gauntlet, and the set bonus of Frost armor affect the star projectiles, meaning they emit light even while passing through blocks, which can help map solid areas.
 * As early as the Starfury can be obtained, it is extremely useful throughout all of pre-Hardmode, and can stay useful later into the game as an exploration tool.
 * Since the stars fall where the cursor is clicked, they can be used to attack through walls.
 * The stars spawn at the top of the screen. Thus, they cannot be used to hit anything above the screen, such as Floating Islands or large bosses.
 * With correct aim, the Starfury can be used to hit an enemy with the blade and another enemy with the star, or the same enemy twice in one swing.
 * Beware when using the Starfury in the Underground Jungle, as it can easily break the Larva in an undiscovered Bee Hive, summoning the Queen Bee boss.
 * If the player plans on crafting the, a powerful endgame sword, they should not throw away or sell the Starfury, as it is needed as a crafting ingredient.
