Hallowed forge crafting and ricocheting disc behavior
Crafted at a Mythril Anvil or Orichalcum Anvil by uniting 12 Hallowed Bar, 15 Soul of Light, and 15 Soul of Might. Unlike standard single boomerangs, up to five discs can be thrown in rapid sequence. Each disc flies at high speed, dealing 60 base melee damage with 8 knockback and 4% critical chance. It ricochets up to four times off solid blocks and enemy hitboxes before returning to the player.
Mid-Hardmode tunnel clearing and boss battles
The Light Disc provides substantial reach for melee characters attempting to maintain safe spacing. Its bouncing physics make it potent within enclosed corridors, the Dungeon, or underground mines. Against mid-Hardmode bosses like Plantera or Skeletron Prime, it serves as a reliable ranged alternative to the Bananarang and Shadowflame Knife.
Trivia
- In version 1.4.4, the Light Disc was converted into a single non-stackable item that automatically allows throwing up to five discs simultaneously.
- Its tooltip Greetings, programs! references the 1982 science fiction film Tron.
