The Sanctified Spark is a post-Moon Lord sentry that is dropped by Impious Immolators. When used, it summons a stationary Impious Immolator sentry that rapidly fires homing sparks of energy at the nearest enemy which inflicts the Holy Flames debuff on contact.

Its best modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stat bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits. The only lasting advantage a Mythical Sanctified Spark has over a Ruthless one is knockback.

Notes

  • As this sentry can only lock on one target at a time, it isn't very useful during Events.
  • Despite being referred to as "Profaned Energy" in the item's tooltip, it resembles an Impious Immolator rather than the Profaned Energy enemy.
  • The Profaned Energy's targeting and projectiles are blocked by solid blocks.
