Pirate Captain

The Pirate Captain is a Hardmode enemy which appears during a Pirate Invasion. It attacks using an assault rifle-like gun that shoots at a speed comparable to the Minishark, then stops to fire its underbarrel mounted cannon. The cannonball has a short range and detonates upon impact with blocks, much like those fired from the. The Pirate Captain is immune to knockback.

When a Pirate Captain is killed, a is spawned, and will slowly drift towards the player through walls much like Wraiths.

Tips

 * Like the Flying Dutchman, the Pirate Captain has a significantly higher chance to drop the rare items than other enemies, so focusing on it will help obtain said items. Compared to the other pirates, the Captains yield rare drops about 4 times as often.
 * Players may want to focus on taking out other pirates first, as Pirate Captains will spawn again after killing the first one, and make the same amount of progress after being killed.
