Stardust Dragon Staff



The Stardust Dragon Staff is a Hardmode, post-Lunatic Cultist summon weapon that summons a Stardust Dragon that attacks enemies. The Stardust Dragon constantly flies around the screen surrounding the player, and flies through blocks, attacking enemies by flying through them. It leaves a trail of sparkles that provide periodic bursts of light as it moves.

The Stardust Dragon Staff is special in that if summoned more than once, multiple Dragons do not spawn &mdash; instead, the first spawned Dragon becomes longer by one segment for each additional summoning, broadening its area of attack and increasing its damage output.

The Stardust Dragon hits ten times per second. It inflicts damage according to the formula:, which is then all multiplied by a random multiplier between 0.85 and 1.15. All segments, including the head and tail, deal the same amount of damage.

Tips

 * The Stardust Dragon Staff is useful for farming, as high-level summons of it are capable of killing even the toughest non-boss enemies.
 * With proper minion damage bonuses the Stardust Dragon can easily take out all bosses, including the Moon Lord.
 * The Dragon will inadvertently damage any entities it flies over, including Critters and Cultists, which will be killed quickly or instantly. Dispel the Dragon minion or hold the Guide To Critter Companionship in your inventory if you are trying to avoid killing them.
 * The Stardust Dragon has a frequent habit of attacking off-screen enemies. Keep that in mind in case you are searching for a specific rare item drop.
 * Due to its high amount of damage with many segments, the Firecracker's tag can deal immense amounts of damage in one hit when used alongside it.

Trivia

 * The Stardust Dragon buff icon is also used internally as the Daybroken debuff icon. It is merely a placeholder icon, as it cannot be inflicted upon players, so the icon never actually displays in-game.
 * The is the only other summon weapon that does not spawn a new minion but enhances the existing one.
