Rod of Discord



The Rod of Discord is a Hardmode tool that instantly teleports the player to the mouse cursor. It has a 0.2% (1/500) chance of being dropped by Chaos Elementals.

Using the Rod of Discord costs no mana or ammunition; however, each use inflicts the Chaos State debuff on the player for 6 / 9  seconds. The debuff causes the player to lose 1/7th / 1/6th  of their maximum health if they use the Rod again while the debuff is active.

Tips

 * If this item is used correctly, it has the potential to become one of the best items for maneuvering the map. For instance, it is very useful for capturing Truffle Worms, as they can be caught almost immediately upon materializing.
 * While it is one of the rarest items in the game, it can be obtained immediately after the start of Hardmode without requiring defeating any additional bosses.
 * Setting the game resolution to maximum will allow seeing farther, enabling farther teleport distances.
 * This item is valuable for dodging high-damage attacks, such as the Moon Lord's Phantasmal Deathray or contact damage from the Dungeon Guardian.
 * Attempting to teleport into the Jungle Temple before Plantera is defeated will not work. It will work after Plantera is defeated, even allowing the player to enter a locked Jungle Temple without using up a Temple Key.
 * Since this item is one of the few ways to deal self-damage on command, it can be used with the Shrimpy Truffle to activate the speed boost.
 * This item is useful for getting the Frequent Flyer Achievement, due to the high, controllable damage the Chaos State debuff inflicts.

Trivia

 * Dying from teleporting during the Chaos State will display unique death messages:
 * "&lt;Player Name&gt;'s legs appeared where his/her head should be"
 * "&lt;Player Name&gt; didn't materialize"
 * In the, it does not properly display the death message, and instead either message has a chance to show:
 * "&lt;Player's name&gt;'s legs appeared where his head should be" (Still possible if character is female)
 * "&lt;Player's name&gt;'s legs appeared where her head should be" (Still possible if character is male)
 * Due to the incredibly low spawn rate of Chaos Elementals in the, it is nearly impossible to obtain this item.
 * On the, if a player slides the slider that allows use of a tool with the Rod of Discord in their hand, it will teleport them to the same spot where they were standing, while still applying the Chaos State debuff and/or damaging them.
 * The Chaos State debuff was introduced to combat the problem of being able to use the Rod of Discord repeatedly, granting the user an arguably overpowered method of transportation or evasion.
