Nimbus Rod

The Nimbus Rod is a Magic Weapon that can be obtained by way of a rare drop from an Angry Nimbus. The weapon works similarly to the Crimson Rod, but unlike the pre-hardmode rod, the Nimbus Rod is able to create two clouds. When clouds are cast, they are launched towards where the player aimed their mouse. This can be used to effectively attack enemies who are out of the player's range. However, a cloud's path of travel to the clicked destination is stopped by solid objects, such as the ground, walls and even doors, but can pass through platforms. Clouds can be recast at any time. If the player attempts to create a third cloud, the oldest cloud cast vanishes; alternatively, clouds also vanish 60 seconds after casting.

Due to its high DPS and piercing capacity, it is also extremely effective against large enemies and bosses, and in its earliest possession by a skilled player, can defeat even a Wyvern. When used with the Spectre armor set, every time the rain causes damage it will regenerate the health of nearby characters. Large multi-segmented bosses like The Destroyer can end up healing players far more rapidly than they can deal damage if done right, allowing the player to go so far as to stand inside of it without worrying about death.

Because the Nimbus Rod has no knockback, it cannot receive any Modifiers that affect knockback, including Mythical. The best modifiers that it can receive are Mystic and Demonic.
