Orbital UFO deployment and teleporting tracking
Obtained as a drop from the Martian Saucer during the Martian Madness event, the Xeno Staff calls down an Alien UFO minion that occupies a single minion slot. Unlike standard summon minions that must fly across physical obstacles, the UFO instantaneously teleports adjacent to enemies within range and discharges rapid laser volleys. The minion inflicts 36 base summon damage with 2 knockback per laser strike.
Summoner minion capacity and whip pairing
Because the UFO minion teleports instantly, its lasers never miss evasive aerial bosses like Duke Fishron or the Empress of Light. Summoners can expand minion capacity using summon armor such as the Spooky Breastplate paired with the Papyrus Scarab and Necromantic Scroll. Directing the fleet with whips like the Kaleidoscope adds flat tag damage to every laser pulse. The premier prefix is Ruthless, maximizing minion base damage.
Trivia
- The Alien UFO minion can acquire targets and fire lasers through solid blocks if enemies are in proximity.
- Because it teleports immediately to follow the player, the UFO never falls behind even at maximum minecart speeds.
