Use

Explosion

Not to be confused with Morning Star, a vanilla whip.

The Mourningstar is a craftable post-Moon Lord flail and the direct upgrade to the Solar Eruption. When used, it fires two whipswords from the player's position. The whipswords pierce infinitely, can hit through blocks, and create explosions on hit. Both the whipswords and the explosions inflict the Daybroken debuff on hit.

Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount. However, Ruthless might be preferred if the player already has very high critical strike chance.

Trivia

• Mourningstar's name is a pun on the term "Morning Star", a name given to certain pre-sunrise sky objects or to a type of spiked mace, and the word "mourning", which means to grieve over someone's death.
  • It shares the "morning" and "mourning" pun with Mourning Wood.
