Not to be confused with Starfury.
(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) The Star Wrath being used to attack Target Dummies. Note how the stars fall towards the cursor, and how the star's trails become more opaque to indicate that they will be affected by solid blocks.

The Star Wrath is a Hardmode broadsword that has a 2/9 (22.22%) chance of being dropped by the Moon Lord. When swung, it causes three pink stars to fall toward the cursor. The stars can pierce one enemy and pass through blocks until they are at the cursor's altitude or less than 12.5 tiles above the player's center, after which they will dissipate upon contact with a block.[1]

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Notes

  • The star projectiles apply 15 ticks[2] of local invincibility frames upon hit.[3]
  • The first star projectile is spawned 37.5 tiles above the player's center, with this height being increased to 43.75 tiles for the second star and 50 tiles for the third star.[4]
    • The horizontal position of the stars can vary from directly above the player to up to 25 tiles behind the player.
  • Melee speed bonuses affect the projectile's velocity, but not its fire rate.
  • Its projectiles produce light at the maximum light level.

Tips

  • The Star Wrath is best used in open areas to take advantage of the many projectiles it fires.

Trivia

  • It can be considered an upgrade to the Starfury.
  • The projectiles from the Star Wrath are capable of traveling at a near-horizontal angle if the cursor is placed in one of the upper corners of the screen. With enough height, it is possible to fire stars far across the map, which has little practical use but may be entertaining.

History

  • Desktop 1.4.4:
    • Damage increased from 110 to 170.
    • Projectile damage halved from 2× the weapon's damage to the same damage as the weapon.
    • Falling stars now use local invincibility, so each star will be able to hit a target for damage.
