The Apoctosis Array is a craftable post-Moon Lord magic gun that is a direct upgrade to the Ion Blaster. Like its predecessor, it fires ion blasts that continuously accelerate with their damage depending on the player's current mana level. The projectile damage is multiplied by 0.2 added to 1.4 times of the player's mana ratio, dealing 20% damage at 0 mana and 160% damage at full mana. Additionally, the projectile size is multiplied by 0.75 added to 0.75 times of the player's mana ratio, being 75% size at 0 mana and 150% size at full mana. Having the Astral Injection buff caps the maximum damage multiplier at 111% and size at 123.75%.

Its best modifier is Mythical.

Trivia

  • The ion blasts shrink in size as their damage decreases.
  • The word apoctosis is likely a reference to the term apoptosis, or programmed cell death, which occurs as a normal, controlled part of an organism's growth.
    • Apoptosis comes from the Ancient Greek word ἀπόπτωσις, which means falling off. This is likely where the effect or etymology of the weapon comes from.
