Use

Cosmic Orb

Azathoth in use. Every orb can both do contact damage and fire lasers.

Azathoth is a craftable post-Moon Lord developer yoyo. While deployed, it constantly fires roughly-stationary cosmic orbs. The cosmic orbs do not pass through tiles, and they deal 50% of the weapon's damage. Each cosmic orb can fire up to six hitscan lasers at nearby enemies before vanishing. The yoyo and both projectiles ignore NPC immunity frames.

Its best modifier is Godly. It cannot get modifiers that affect size. Ruthless might be preferred if the player already has 100% critical strike chance.

Trivia

• The name Azathoth is a reference to a H.P. Lovecraft deity, much like Cthulhu. In the Cthulhu Mythos, Azathoth is said to be the king of the Outer Gods, whose dream constitutes all of reality.
• Its projectiles and effects are a reference to the Berserker Nightmare from the Avalon Mod.
