Starlight



The Starlight is a Hardmode melee weapon that has a chance to be dropped by the Empress of Light boss. As long as the attack button is held, beams of light will continue to be created in front of the weapon until the attack button is released. Not all of the beams created will do damage to the enemy. The attack can be aimed in any direction, similar to a Shortsword.

Tips

 * The quick attack speed and infinite piercing of the weapon allow it to quickly mow down hordes of enemies on the ground.
 * The sword is able to reach a single target of around 1,100 with a legendary modifier and no other equipment equipped.

Trivia

 * As the weapons that the Empress of Light drops are based on her attacks, the Starlight seems to be based off of her Sun Dance.
 * The beams of light use the same sprite as the Rainbow Crystal Staff summon attack sprite.
 * The beams of light created by the weapon do not create any light.
