The Gravistar Sabaton is a Hardmode accessory that is dropped by Astrum Aureus. It grants the following effects while equipped:

• +20% jump speed
• Immunity to fall damage
• While holding the ▼ Down key, the player's maximum fall speed is increased by 50%
• Holding the Gravistar Sabaton Hotkey while in midair for 1 second charges up a superspeed slam.
  • While slamming, the player can ram through enemies and take no contact damage.
  • Upon slamming into the ground, it causes an explosion that scales in size and damage depending on how long the slam lasts, scaling linearly from 300 to 1200 damage over 2 seconds. The explosion inflicts the Astral Infection debuff and is affected by melee damage bonuses.
  • After slamming into the ground, the player is granted +40% jump speed for 0.66 seconds.

Tips

• The explosion is very good at mapping out uncharted underground areas, due to its large size and light-emitting particles.

Trivia

• A sabaton, historically, was a piece of armor that covered the foot of a knight.

• 2.0.3.008: Slam explosion damage now scales with melee damage.

• 2.0.3.002:
  • Reworked:
    • No longer makes pressing ▼ Down increase fall speed for 5 seconds on an 8 second cooldown or makes astral explosions when falling faster.
    • Now increases jump speed by 20% and grants immunity to fall damage while equipped.
    • Holding the Gravistar Sabaton key while in midair for 1 second will now charge up a superspeed slam. While slamming, the player rams through enemies and takes no contact damage. Hitting the ground creates an explosion that scales in size and damage depending on how long the slam lasted.
