Scarlet Blast

The Scarlet Devil and its stealth strike being used. Notice the lifesteal effect on the stealth strike.

The Scarlet Devil is a craftable post-Moon Lord developer javelin. When used, it throws an extremely fast spear that pierces 4 times and releases scarlet bullets every 4 frames as it travels, which deal 3.5% base damage. The scarlet bullets are not affected by gravity and home in on enemies after a short delay. If no enemies are nearby, they will stop moving and disappear after a short amount of time. Upon hitting the first enemy, the spear causes a scarlet explosion that rapidly deals damage. Both the spear and its bullets can pass through tiles.

Performing a stealth strike with the Scarlet Devil will cause the next spear thrown to heal the player for 0.5% of the damage dealt on hit, as well as release many scarlet bullets in a hexagram pattern.

Its best modifier is Flawless.

Trivia

• The tooltip is a reference to the spell card Divine Spear "Spear the Gungnir", used by the character Remilia Scarlet from the Touhou Project series.
  • The name of the weapon is a reference to Remilia's title, The Scarlet Devil.
• This weapon actually has a unique rarity but is referred to here as Hot Pink for consistency between weapons.
  • This unique rarity alternates between red (#BF2D47 ●) and lavender (#B9BBFD ●) colors.
    • These colors are the approximate colors of Remilia's ribbons and hair, respectively.
• This weapon has the highest base damage of any weapon in the Calamity mod.
• In the 1.5.0.001 update, the weapon's base damage was reduced from 40,000 to 8000. With a total loss of 32,000 damage, this makes Scarlet Devil the weapon with the largest damage stat change in one update in the mod's history.
