Contagion Orb Explosion

The Contagion is a craftable post-Moon Lord developer bow. It fires arrows that leave behind a trail of orbs, exploding after a short delay. Holding left-click will cause the bow to "spin-up", increasing the fire rate appreciably.

Its best modifier is Unreal.

Notes

• Holding left-click will cause the Contagion to only consume one arrow, as opposed to consuming multiple arrows due to the "spin up".

Trivia

• The word "contagion" refers to the communication of a disease from one organism to another, either by close contact or transmission through the air.
• This weapon actually has a unique Rarity but is referred here as Hot Pink rarity for consistency between weapons.
  • This unique rarity appears as a red violet (#CF1175 ●) color.
