Cosmic summoner crown and sentry slot expansion

Fashioned at an Ancient Manipulator from 8 Luminite Bar bars and celestial Stardust Fragment pieces, the Stardust Helmet supplies 10 defense. Tailored for minion commanders, it raises summon damage by 22%, adds 1 extra minion slot, and grants 1 additional sentry slot. This dual slot expansion allows players to deploy defensive turrets alongside active minion swarms during heavy wave events.

Minion commander playstyle and guardian deployment

Uniting this helm with the Stardust Plate and Stardust Leggings calls forth the celestial Stardust Guardian. This summoned sentinel hovers behind the player, retaliating against hostile creatures that enter proximity. Leveraging both sentry and minion bonuses simultaneously creates powerful layered defensive zones, particularly effective during the Lunar Events and Old One's Army challenges where stationary sentries provide vital flank support while airborne minions chase down distant stragglers.

Trivia

  • One of few headpieces that increases both minion capacity and sentry limits at once.
  • Crafted from fragments retrieved after conquering the Stardust Pillar.
