Nightglow

Hallow boss magic casting and ethereal seeking daggers

Nightglow is a magic weapon obtained by defeating the Empress of Light in the Hallow biome with a 25% drop rate. Each cast consumes 23 mana to summon 4 glowing ethereal daggers that launch forward and aggressively seek out nearby targets. These energy blades can strike enemies up to 3 times each, bouncing off solid walls and recalculating target trajectory after every bounce.

Enclosed arena ricochets and Spectre set synergy

Because its daggers ricochet without prematurely detonating, Nightglow functions effectively inside tight arenas like the Jungle Temple and the Dungeon. Compared to the Bat Scepter, Nightglow provides superior tracking velocity and multiple hits per projectile. The daggers seek out targets around corners, allowing players to attack safely from behind barriers. Equipping Spectre Mask produces supplementary homing soul orbs, while Spectre Hood provides steady life restoration from sustained hits. The best modifier is Mythical.

Trivia

• Each cast releases 4 daggers that can hit enemies or bounce off surfaces up to 3 times.
• The daggers change direction immediately after bouncing, actively pursuing the nearest enemy.
