The Aetherflux Cannon is a craftable post-Moon Lord magic gun and the direct upgrade to the Nano Purge. When used, it spins up for about 0.5 seconds before rapidly firing pairs of fast yellow lasers which travel in a double helix pattern. The lasers pierce once and go through tiles.

Its best modifier is Mythical.

Notes

• Unlike the Laser Machinegun and the Nano Purge, its fire rate does not increase over time. After it spins up, it fires at a constant speed.
• Mana is not consumed while spinning up.
• XF-09 Ares takes only 75% damage from Aetherflux Cannon.

Trivia

• The movement pattern of the lasers is a reference to the Wave Beam from the Metroid game series.
• The weapon's former name, "T1000" was likely named after the T-1000, the robotic main antagonist of the film Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
