The Crescent Moon is a craftable post-Moon Lord flail that autoswings. The flail passes through tiles. When swung, it leaves behind homing crescent moons that deal 40% of the weapon's base damage. It behaves similarly to the Solar Eruption.

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 weapon's tooltip is a reference to scrapped plans for the Moon Lord to be the moon itself descending onto the world.
