Meteorite whip forging and celestial minion tag mechanics
Starcrash is crafted at an Iron or Lead Anvil using 20 Meteorite Bar units, 10 Chain links, and 10 Fallen Star items. It lashes out for 18 base summon damage with 1.5 knockback at Average speed (30 use time). Striking enemies applies a tag effect granting 2 summon tag damage; whenever an active minion hits a tagged target, small meteorites crash down from above, inflicting supplementary area damage.
Summoner loadout synergy, boss utility, and modifier choices
The whip provides substantial multi-target pressure against open-air bosses like the Eater of Worlds and Queen Bee. Its meteor barrage synergizes with high-attack-speed minions like Flinx or Hornet summons that trigger frequent celestial strikes on focused targets. As with other whips, it draws from the melee prefix pool; Legendary is the ideal modifier, improving damage, attack speed, reach, and critical strike chance.
Trivia
- Introduced in Terraria 1.4.5 as a mid-pre-Hardmode summoner whip crafted from meteorite metal.
- Falling meteors summoned by minion tag procs emit bright sparkles that briefly illuminate dark caves above targets.
