Use

The Soul Piercer is a craftable post-Moon Lord wand. When used, it fires a long-range beam that, upon hitting its first enemy, summons 5 additional short-range beams from nearby which shoot through the same enemy. Both beam types travel instantly, pierce infinitely, and inflict the God Slayer Inferno debuff. The main beam cannot pass through tiles, but secondary beams can.

Its best modifier is Mythical.

Notes

• When attacking enemies on the ground, the additional lasers may spawn within the ground and instantly dissipate, reducing the weapon's effectiveness.
• Due to the large amounts of beams summoned on enemy hits, this weapon can cause large lag spikes.
