Early altar mining and rapid arrow discharge
The Cobalt Repeater requires 10 Cobalt Bar ingots at an Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil. It serves as the baseline Hardmode repeater, transitioning ranged players away from slow pre-Hardmode bows into automatic projectile weaponry. Firing at an Fast rate of 23 ticks, it deals 35 base ranged damage per shot and maintains unbroken arrow volleys as long as the attack button remains depressed.
Ammunition synergy and mechanical boss preparation
Supplying the Cobalt Repeater with Ichor Arrows or Cursed Arrows substantially boosts its damage output by applying armor reduction or sustained burning to tough targets. Though the Palladium Repeater edges it out slightly in base power, the Cobalt Repeater demands fewer ore bars to assemble, letting rangers arm themselves quickly upon entering Hardmode. The Unreal modifier represents the ultimate reforge target, conferring bonuses to damage, velocity, and critical strike chance.
Trivia
- The Cobalt Repeater is among the few Hardmode weapons that can be crafted at standard pre-Hardmode anvils without requiring a Mythril or Orichalcum workstation.
