Chlorophyte armor

Chlorophyte Armor is an armor type that can be considered a step up from Hallowed Armor, granting better defense and being geared more towards high damage rates for ranged and magic users.

Equipping the full set causes a Leaf Crystal to permanently appear over the player's head, attacking enemies via a ranged projectile that costs no mana or ammunition:
 * The projectile travels in a straight line at a velocity comparable to a mid-tier bow with Wooden Arrows.
 * The projectile causes 30-40 damage each.
 * The crystal generally fires about once per second when the player is not attacking an enemy manually, and will only attack one enemy at a time. When an enemy takes damage via a hit from the player, a Minion, or a Trap, the crystal begins firing a second simultaneous volley at that enemy, for a possible total of two projectiles per second. It is possible for both volleys to be targeting the same enemy.
 * The projectile is capable of traveling through blocks, though generally a gap in the barrier is required in order for enemies on the other side to actually be targeted. Enemies that take damage from a Minion or Trap will be targeted through blocks even with no gap.
 * The crystal does not benefit from damage-increasing accessories.
 * The crystal emits a small amount of green light.

A full set of Chlorophyte Armor requires 54 Chlorophyte Bars, or 324 Chlorophyte Ore. Crafting the full set with every helmet type requires 468 Chlorophyte Ore.

Tips

 * The crystal can be very useful for farming certain mobs whilst inactive, for example in search of rare drops and endgame Dungeon Key Molds. Encasing your character in blocks will render them invincible to the majority of attacks, whilst the crystal can fire through any blocks and kill enemies.
 * When minions such as Pygmy Staff or Staff of the Frost Hydra hits a mob with their projectile, the crystal will fire at the same mob (even if it has died) and the projectile will pass through walls. It only fires if the mob is hit with projectile. This also works with the player's projectiles, so one can easily dispose of enemies through walls using the Chlorophyte Partisan's spore clouds or other projectiles that go through walls.

History
