Martian Walker

The Martian Walker is a Hardmode, post-Golem enemy that spawns during the Martian Madness event. It appears as a large tripod enemy that moves at a very fast pace, and has the ability to fire blue lasers at the player, with a maximum fire rate of once every 0.12 seconds (7 ticks✅) or 8.5 shots per second. These traits combined with its amount of health and its resistance against knockback can make this enemy somewhat difficult to defeat.

Tips

 * This enemy and its laser attacks cannot move through solid blocks, so most base designs that have a tall-enough wall can easily stop it, as its height can be a liability for itself.
