The Luminite Bullet is a Hardmode, post-Moon Lord bullet. The Luminite Bullet can hit an infinite number of targets. The damage of the Luminite Bullet decreases by 4% each time it hits a target. This can reduce its damage down to 0, but it will continue to travel. It will disappear after 1.67 seconds^[1] or upon hitting a block.

A Luminite Bullet piercing Target Dummies.

Notes

• Luminite Bullets create visual bright blue particles upon hit.
• The Luminite Bullet has unique piercing mechanics. It inflicts -1 ticks^[2] of local invincibility frame on targets^[3], which means that:
  • A single Luminite Bullet can only deal damage to each target once.
  • Damage from Luminite Bullets will not prevent any other piercing projectiles from damaging the target.
  • Luminite Bullets still cannot hit targets already invincible, when the effect is caused by something else (e.g. items that cause global invincibility frame). This gives Luminite Bullets synergy with other Luminite Bullet users, but works poorly with other piercing weapons.

Tips

• Despite having the highest base damage of all bullets, their piercing makes Luminite Bullets more suitable for crowd control than for individual targets. A rapid-firing gun such as the S.D.M.G works well here.

Trivia

• Luminite Bullets are slightly slower than High Velocity Bullets.
• A single Luminite Bullet is able to damage up to 26 enemies with an Annoying Minishark that has no other damage buffs, or 101 enemies with a Ruthless Sniper Rifle that has every possible damage increase.
• Luminite Bullets are the only bullets that can be crafted without using Musket Balls or Empty Bullets.
