Super Star Shooter

Hallowed star artillery and orbital impact strikes

The Super Star Shooter is assembled by fusing a Star Cannon with 12 Hallowed Bar ingots at a Mythril Anvil or Orichalcum Anvil. This heavy ranged weapon fires Fallen Star projectiles that pierce infinite enemies along their straight trajectory for 60 base ranged damage. Crucially, each direct impact summons a secondary spectral star from the upper sky that crashes directly onto the struck target for extra burst impact.

Mechanical boss devastation and fallen star economy

With a Very fast firing rate of 18 ticks, this launcher delivers intense concentrated firepower capable of shredding segmented bosses like The Destroyer or sweeping through crowded invasion armies. Its primary drawback lies in ammunition scarcity, requiring players to harvest fallen stars across wide surface bridges each night. For ranged loadouts ready to face Plantera and post-mechanical challenges, the Unreal modifier grants maximum bonuses to velocity, critical probability, and overall damage.

Trivia

• The weapon was introduced in update 1.4.0.1 as an upgrade path for the classic pre-Hardmode Star Cannon.
