Solar Explosion

The Elemental Ray is a craftable post-Moon Lord wand that is a direct upgrade to the Terra Ray. It fires four unique beams behind the player, all aiming towards the mouse cursor, each of which behave differently:

• Solar beams explode on every enemy hit.
• Nebula beams initially aim towards the mouse, but they immediately sweep in a short clockwise arc before disappearing.
• Vortex beams resemble lightning bolts. They do not pierce and are slightly inaccurate.
• Stardust beams spawn 2 slow, slightly homing Stardust Bolts upon being fired, and have a chance to spawn another 4 every time it hits an enemy.

All beams will inflict the Elemental Mix debuff on hit enemies.

Its best modifier is Mythical.

Notes

• Both this weapon and the Terra Ray only require one or two weapon components, making this a fairly simple weapon to craft for its tier.
