Drops

Star Cell drops nothing in the game's drop rules.

Cosmic amoebas dividing under stardust pillar influence

The Star Cell is a large celestial organism that drifts gracefully through the gravity field of the Stardust Pillar. Floating with 300 life and 50 defense, its luminous blue membranes pulse with cosmic energy. Colliding with its pulsing cellular body inflicts 120 base contact damage, pushing players out of aerial firing positions.

Preventing exponential multiplication after cellular fission

Upon taking fatal damage, the Star Cell ruptures and divides into four Mini Star Cell minions. If these smaller fragments are not destroyed within several seconds, each one grows into a complete full-sized Star Cell. Players must employ broad-radius explosive weapons or continuous magic beams to wipe out the newly divided cells before they trigger an uncontrolled population boom. In Master mode, its health climbs to 900 life with 360 damage.

Trivia

  • Destroying a Star Cell causes it to divide into multiple Mini Star Cells.
  • If Mini Star Cells are left alive, they will each mature into a new full-sized Star Cell.
