SHPB Explosion

SHPC's left and right click attacks.

The SHPC (or Super Heated Plasma Cannon) is a craftable Hardmode magic gun. When used with its primary fire Left Click, it fires a set of energy balls that explode on impact with tiles or enemies, dealing damage repeatedly in a large radius. These projectiles rapidly lose velocity and float in mid-air; if left untouched, they will explode on their own after a moderate amount of time. When used with its secondary fire Right Click, it rapidly fires high-velocity beams, similar to the Laser Machinegun.

Its best modifier is Mythical.

Notes

• The primary fire is subject to piercing invulnerability, meaning that enemies will take as much damage from standing in one explosion as they would in three. Due to this, its relatively slow fire rate, and the limited range of its projectiles, the primary fire is often less effective than the secondary fire in open spaces.
• In the Get fixed boi seed, SHPC scales through progression gaining additive damage boosts after defeating certain bosses:
  • 10% increased damage after defeating Plantera.
  • 15% increased damage after defeating Golem.
  • 350% increased damage after defeating the Lunatic Cultist.
  • 450% increased damage after defeating the Moon Lord.
  • 750% increased damage after defeating Providence.
  • 250% increased damage after defeating The Devourer of Gods.
  • 3000% increased damage after defeating Yharon, Dragon of Rebirth.

History

edit

These history sections are still a work-in-progress, and may not yet contain changes relevant to the current version of the Calamity Mod.

• 2.1.0:
  • Reworked:
    • Buffed damage from 16 to 117, right-click use time from 7 to 3, and mana cost from 20 to 15, but nerfed left-click use time from 50 to 60 and knockback from 3.25 to 3.
    • No longer fires a burst of exploding plasma orbs on left-click, or rapidly fires lasers on right-click.
    • Now uses Souls as ammo; the weapon consumes one Soul to give 50 charges, and each use consumes one charge. Left-click now fires a single plasma orb which creates a large explosion and bursts into 5 homing mini souls plus 3 lingering souls on death.
    • Plasma orbs have an additional effect which depends on the type of Soul used as ammo: Light creates larger explosions, Night makes explosions last longer, Flight restores flight time on direct hits, Might launches enemies away from the player, Sight has weak homing, and Fright deals extra flat damage.
    • Holding right-click now triggers a vacuum effect from the weapon which can suck in lingering souls. Releasing right-click triggers a rapid burst of soul lasers that deal 140% base damage. The number of lasers scales based on how many souls were sucked in.
  • Now uses 5 Souls of Fright, 5 Souls of Might, and 5 Souls of Sight in its recipe.
