Astreal Flame

Astreal Defeat being used against a Super Dummy. Notice the semi-randomized firing angles and spirit flame spawning.

The Astreal Defeat is a craftable post-Moon Lord bow. It autofires streams of Astreal Arrows at four semi-randomized paths, ranging from straight forward to varying levels of curving downward, with a tendency to curve to the right as well. The arrows will begin to spawn spirit flames shortly after they're fired, which home in on nearby enemies and deal 50% of the weapon's base damage. Astreal Arrows inflict the Shadowflame debuff for 6 seconds upon striking an enemy.

Its best modifier is Unreal.

Notes

• This weapon's spirit flames tend to home in on Town NPCs or other players in multiplayer. This behavior can make it difficult to use to its full potential.

Trivia

• Astreal is a portmanteau of the words "Astral" and "Ethereal".
