Contact Explosion

Main Rocket Explosion

Side Rocket Explosion

Ataxaria being swung. Note the explosion produced when the Super Dummy is struck with the blade.

Ataraxia is a post-Moon Lord broadsword that autoswings. When swung, Ataraxia fires three rocket-like projectiles, two small and one large, towards the cursor. The larger projectile explodes on impact with a tile or enemy. The smaller projectiles split into several needles on impact, which fly a short distance from the impact point and rapidly damage enemies. When the blade itself strikes a foe, it creates a flower-shaped explosion which deals 70% of the weapon's damage to all enemies in a 12.5-tile radius.

Ataraxia, along with all of its projectiles and their explosions, inflict the Shadowflame debuff onto enemies.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Projectile Types

	Main Rocket	50%	Explodes into a cloud of Shadowflame on hit, dealing an additional hit of 25% damage in an 8.125-tile radius.
	Side Rocket	37.5%	Explodes into six Needle Rockets in all directions on hit.
	Needle Rocket	0.75%	Travels for a short distance and decelerates to a stop before dissipating after 0.83 seconds. Very rapidly hits any targets in contact with it.
