Explosion

The Helium Flash is a craftable post-Moon Lord wand. When used, it fires a burning star core which bursts on impact into an enormous flaming explosion much like the Inferno Fork. The explosion ignores NPC immunity frames. Both the burning star core and explosion inflict the Daybroken debuff.

Its best modifier is Mythical.

Trivia

• This weapon is named after the astronomical phenomenon in which red giant stars reach a critical density and begin rapidly fusing helium into carbon in their cores.
  • The tooltip of this weapon references the power of helium flashes. They produce as much heat as an entire galaxy for about a minute.
