Star Cannon

The Star Cannon is an upgraded version of the Minishark that shoots Fallen Stars. The Star Cannon deals approximately 65-90 damage per shot without modifiers, making it one of the most powerful weapons in the game. For finding ammunition, the player may regularly pick up Fallen Stars even after maxing their mana. A skybridge can be used to farm them efficiently.

The Star Cannon launches Fallen Stars at a speed of 52.5 blocks or 105 feet per second. A star survives exactly 1 minute after being launched, which means it can travel 3150 blocks or 6300 feet. After the star reaches this point or upon striking a solid block, it will explode with a firework animation, very similar to the Magic Missile.

Despite the additions of the Megashark and the Shotgun, even with the new ammo, the Star Cannon remains one of the most powerful Ranged Weapons for sheer Damage per Second, being beaten by the Candy Corn Rifle, the Megashark with Chlorophyte Bullets and Shroomite Armor, and the SDMG.

The Star Cannon cannot be reforged with any modifiers that affect knockback, as it has none. The best modifier prefix for a ranged weapon without knockback is Demonic.
