Aerial Bane

Betsy defeat reward and anti-air damage multipliers

Awarded as a drop from Betsy during the final wave of the Tier 3 Old One's Army event. The bow converts standard ammunition into explosive golden arrows that deal 38 base ranged damage with 4.5 knockback at a use time of 30. If an arrow hits an airborne target without solid ground within 12 tiles beneath it, damage is multiplied by 1.5x.

Splitting shrapnel arrows and invasion crowd control

Upon colliding with an enemy, the primary arrow detonates and splits into 5 smaller explosive shrapnel arrows that cascade downwards, hitting ground targets or sweeping through enemy hordes. This split mechanic makes Aerial Bane devastating against airborne bosses like the Martian Saucer and crowds in the Old One's Army. Equipping Shroomite Headgear and Magic Quiver amplifies arrow speed and power. The best prefix is Unreal.

Trivia

• Arrows gain a 50% damage multiplier when striking targets with no solid tiles within 12 blocks below them.
• On hit, the arrow fragments into 5 downward-falling explosive shrapnel projectiles.
