The Galileo Gladius is a craftable post-Moon Lord shortsword. When swung, the weapon auto-fires homing crescent moons that deal 33.33% of the weapon's base damage and pass through blocks. Hitting an enemy with a true melee hit will cause large blue planetoids to rain on the enemy. These planetoids explode on contact with tiles and enemies.

Its best modifier is Legendary.
