Morning Star

The Morning Star is a late-Hardmode, post-Plantera Whip dropped by Blue, Rusty, and Hell Armored Bones in the Hardmode Dungeon with a chance.

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

Trivia

 * The whip’s name and look is a reference to the Morning Star, a whip used by the Belmont bloodline in the series.
 * That whip is itself inspired by an actual medieval weapon, the . This weapon does not resemble a whip. Instead, it is a club-like weapon consisting of a ball attached to a shaft and adorned with a varying number of spikes.
 * The Morning Star is the only whip with a use time of 45, all other whips have a use time of 30.
 * The Morning Star has the highest knockback of all whips.

Tips

 * Due to the Kaleidoscope's high base damage, range, tag damage, and extra summon tag critical strike chance, it is the most powerful whip in the game despite the Morning Star's 15 extra damage.
 * The Morning Star can be farmed right after Plantera is defeated. It provides a substantial boost to DPS over pre-Plantera whips.
