Kaleidoscope

The Kaleidoscope is a post-Plantera whip dropped by the Empress of Light boss.

Like other whips, it causes minions to focus on the last-struck enemy and increases their damage against the target.

Tips

 * Due to its high base damage, range, tag damage, and extra summon tag critical strike chance, it is considered by many to be the best whip in the game despite having 15 less damage than the comparatively-slow Morning Star.
 * The Kaleidoscope's large range and bright particles can make it useful for finding caves or exploring underground.

Trivia

 * A is an optical device that uses reflecting surfaces to create regular, symmetrical, and usually very colorful patterns when one looks into it.
 * The word "kaleidoscope" is derived from the Ancient Greek words καλός (kalos), "beautiful, beauty", εἶδος (eidos), "that which is seen: form, shape" and σκοπέω (skopeō), "to look to, to examine", hence "observation of beautiful forms."
