Shattering chemical flask and lingering toxic gas clouds
The Toxic Flask is dropped by Dr. Man Fly during the post-Plantera Solar Eclipse. Consuming 30 mana per throw, the weapon tosses a chemical bottle that shatters upon contact with enemies or solid surfaces. The impact releases a dense cluster of toxic gas clouds that linger in the area for several seconds. Any hostile creature walking into the vapor takes rapid 52 base magic damage with 4 knockback while lingering inside the noxious cloud.
Area denial capabilities and spell synergy
This weapon serves as an outstanding area-denial tool for mages guarding choke points or arena platforms. While direct-damage spells like the Shadowbeam Staff require continuous aim, lobbing several Toxic Flasks carpets the floor in toxic smog that damages approaching monsters automatically. It pairs effectively with stationary magic gear like the Magnet Sphere to build passive hazard zones. The Mythical modifier is the best prefix, granting improved damage, critical strike chance, and knockback while reducing mana cost.
Trivia
- The poisonous clouds linger in midair and can strike the same enemy dozens of times if the target remains inside the cloud.
- Gas clouds pass through semi-solid platforms and fill recessed pits effectively.
