Prismatic summon whip and high tag critical bonus
Kaleidoscope is dropped by the Empress of Light in the Hallow with a 25% drop rate. Delivering 170 base summon damage at Average speed, it possesses long reach and swings in a broad rainbow arc. Striking an enemy applies a summon tag that adds 20 flat summon tag damage and a 10% summon tag critical strike chance bonus to all minion hits directed at that target.
Minion burst damage and summoner accessory stacking
Kaleidoscope offers the highest flat summon tag damage bonus among all Hardmode whips, surpassing the Morning Star in swing speed and coverage. When paired with high-hit-count summons like the Stardust Dragon Staff or Terraprisma, the bonus damage multiplies rapidly. Equipping Spooky Breastplate alongside the Papyrus Scarab and Necromantic Scroll maximizes minion offensive power. The best modifier is Legendary.
