Phantom Blade

The Celestus in use on an array of Target Dummies.

The Celestus is a craftable post-Moon Lord rogue boomerang. When used, it rapidly throws a high velocity scythe that pierces infinitely, passes through tiles and returns to the player after traveling a moderate distance. Every time it hits an enemy, it releases 8 double-edged phantom blades that travel outward from the point of impact. The phantom blades deal 70% of the weapon's damage, pierce infinitely, and pass through tiles but cannot release more blades.

Performing a stealth strike with the Celestus causes the resulting scythe to rebound inaccurately when returning to the player, homing into the closest enemy but no longer pierces. The scythe will not return to the player for the second time when rebounding.

Its best modifier is Flawless.

Notes

• The Celestus only deals 90% damage to Supreme Witch, Calamitas' Supreme Soul Seekers.

Tips

• This weapon greatly benefits from the Nanotech. Every time it splits on enemy contact, each projectile can spawn the homing blades.
• This weapon synergizes well with the Lecherous enchantment due to its infinite piercing and lack of homing on non-stealth attacks.

Trivia

• Celestus is the name of a genus of lizards.
• Although the Celestus was redesigned in version 1.4.1.001, its secondary projectiles still use the old sprite.
