Explosive Sun
The Hell's Sun is a post-Moon Lord rogue spiky ball. It automatically fires up to 10 spiky balls. The balls move slowly and decelerate to a stop after travelling a short distance. Once the ball comes to a stop, sun orbs of varying speeds and sizes are released in all directions, which do not pierce. The balls go through tiles and will despawn after landing 20 enemy hits or after a long amount of time. Right-clicking with the weapon will delete all the existing spiky balls.
Performing a stealth strike with the Hell's Sun will cause the next ball thrown to last longer and pierce more enemies before disappearing. Additionally, sun orbs are released at a faster rate. The damage dealt by the stealth strike is 10% of the weapon's damage.
Its best modifier is Flawless.
