Rod of Discord



The Rod of Discord is a Hardmode tool that instantly teleports the player to the mouse cursor. It has a 0.2% /  (1/500 /  ) chance of being dropped by Chaos Elementals.

Using the Rod of Discord costs no mana or ammunition; however, each use inflicts the Chaos State debuff on the player for 6 /  9 seconds. The debuff causes the player to lose 1/7th /  1/6th of their maximum health if they use the Rod again while the debuff is active.

Tips

 * If this item is used correctly, it has the potential to become one of the best items for maneuvering the map. For instance, it is very useful for capturing Truffle Worms, as they can be caught almost immediately upon materializing.
 * This item is valuable for dodging high-damage attacks, such as the Phantasmal Deathray or contact damage from the Dungeon Guardian.
 * While it is one of the rarest items in the game, it can be obtained immediately after the start of Hardmode without requiring defeating any additional bosses.
 * Since this item is one of the few ways to deal self-damage on command, it can be used with the Shrimpy Truffle or the Panic Necklace to activate the speed boost.
 * By using items that increase your view, such as Binoculars, Rifle Scope, Sniper Rifle or Sniper Scope, then quickly swapping to and using the rod, you can significantly increase the range of the teleport.
 * After hitting a Golf Ball, the camera will follow it as long as the player is holding a golf club. During this time, the rod of discord can be quickly swapped to and used, allowing the player to teleport incredible distances.
 * Increasing the game resolution in windowed mode can too increase your view, enabling farther teleport distances.
 * This item is useful for getting the Frequent Flyer Achievement, due to the high, controllable damage the Chaos State debuff inflicts.

Trivia

 * Dying from teleporting during the Chaos State will display unique death messages:
 * The Chaos State debuff was introduced to combat the problem of being able to use the Rod of Discord repeatedly, granting the user an arguably overpowered method of transportation or evasion.
 * This is one of the only ways in the game you can have negative health.
