Light Disc



Throw it at a rabbit

Light Disc physics are similar to those of the Thorn Chakram, though Light Discs have nearly twice the range and do not "wobble" as they travel. They also emit a small amount of light, comparable to the glow of Demonite, Crimtane, or Crystal Shards.

Light Discs cannot have modifiers through any usual in-game means, due to their stackable nature.

Tips

 * A full stack of five Light Discs is very useful for cave exploration, gathering drops from underground enemies, and generally surviving underground in Hardmode. Its continuous ricocheting fire, long range, and ability to have five projectiles in the air at once, along with the lack of any ammo consumption, mean that the usage key can be held continuously during travel to maintain a rather large spread "field" of indefinite protective fire with relatively little need to aim.
 * A full stack of Light Discs can be very effective when fighting monsters in small areas or rooms.
 * Crafting and selling Light Discs can be a good source of coins. Two of the three materials needed for crafting drop from The Destroyer, with said materials worth if sold separately ( for 5 Souls of Might +  for 4 Hallowed Bars). Three Souls of Light add  to the total sell price . The  sell price of the Light Discs nets about % more profit.
 * The Light Discs are quite effective against the Twins since they usually mirror the player's movement or chase them directly, setting up for easy hits.
 * To craft a full stack of five, you need 20 Hallowed Bars, 15 Souls of Light, and 25 Souls of Might.

Trivia

 * Light Discs resemble identity discs from the 1982 American science fiction action-adventure film .
 * Upon entering the map function of the of Terraria, a small Light Disc will briefly appear as the loading icon. The same thing occurred on the mobile edition pre-1.3.
 * Light Discs can be assigned modifiers through use of an inventory editor. The best modifier that will stick is Godly, like other boomerangs.
 * Prior to Mobile 1.2.6508 (the 1.2 equivalent), one could throw an infinite amount (though they will return to the player) of Light Discs regardless of the stack amount.
 * Light Discs could sometimes drop from Mimics in the 3DS Edition.
