Star Cannon

Anvil fabrication and infinite projectile piercing

The Star Cannon is forged at an Iron or Lead Anvil using a Minishark, 20 Meteorite Bar units, and 5 Fallen Star items. It expends Fallen Stars as ammunition at Very fast firing speed (12 use time), delivering 55 base ranged damage per projectile. Fired stars travel in a flat trajectory and pierce an infinite number of enemies along their path before breaking on solid blocks.

Boss devastation, ammunition logistics, and Super Star Shooter upgrade

The weapon dismantles multi-segmented adversaries such as the Eater of Worlds and tears through the Hungry during the Wall of Flesh confrontation. Maintaining ammunition reserves requires constructing sky bridges or collection runways to harvest stars across nighttime cycles. It upgrades in early Hardmode into the Super Star Shooter with Hallowed Bars. Demonic is the preferred modifier to maximize damage and critical chance.

Trivia

• Projectiles fired from this weapon cannot be recovered as ammunition after impact.
• Unlike natural stars that fall at night, projectiles launched by the cannon do not disappear when dawn breaks.
