Star Cannon



The Star Cannon is a ranged weapon that fires Fallen Stars. Stars are launched from the cannon at 52.5 blocks (105 feet) per second and persist for exactly 1 minute after being launched, ultimately traveling 3150 blocks, or 6300 feet, and piercing through enemies along the way. After the star reaches this point, or when it impacts a solid block, it dissipates into light-emitting particles.

On the, it can be upgraded into the Super Star Shooter in Hardmode.

Tips

 * A skybridge can be used to farm Fallen Stars efficiently.
 * The Star Cannon, given enough ammo, can do tremendous amounts of damage and is by far the best Pre-Hardmode ranged weapon, in terms of . It is still useful well into Hardmode, with its base damage outclassing even that of the Megashark, but the comparative availability of ammunition for each weapon (and the point that Fallen Stars only stack to ) causes the Megashark to be more useful all-around.
 * Since the Star Cannon cannot deal critical hits and does not receive any bonuses from any of the 3 Shroomite Helmets, the best pre- set for this weapon consists of the Chlorophyte Helmet, Red Riding Dress and Hallowed Greaves.
