Celestial retaliation and Cavern Mimic drops

Obtained as a 16.67% drop from Mimic enemies in the Cavern layer, the Star Cloak turns incoming damage into an offensive retaliation. Whenever the player suffers damage, 3 falling stars plunge from the sky to strike enemies, dealing 75 base magic damage each while piercing through targets. At the Tinkerer's Workshop, it combines with a Cross Necklace to create the Star Veil, or crafts into the Bee Cloak, Mana Cloak, and Druidic Serpent Cloak.

Counter-attack tactics and defensive fusion options

The falling star barrage excels against large, swarming monsters and multi-segment bosses like The Destroyer, where a single hit taken can trigger stars that strike several body coils simultaneously. Its most prominent upgrade, the Star Veil, merges this retaliatory strike with lengthened invincibility frames for solid boss survivability. Reforging to Warding provides +4 defense to absorb incoming hits safely, whereas Menacing increases retaliatory star damage.

Trivia

  • The stars summoned by the cloak pass unobstructed through solid blocks until reaching the player's vertical elevation.
  • In desktop update 1.4.1, the base damage of the retaliatory stars was increased from 30 to 75.
