Star Swallower |
The Star Swallower Containment Unit is a craftable Pre-Hardmode summon weapon. It summons a grounded bio-mechanical frog minion that jumps around the player. When an enemy is nearby, it fires gravity-affected acid droplets. It does not directly deal contact damage.
The weapon consumes 0.08 units of charge per use and has a maximum charge of 50. As such, the weapon can be used continuously from full charge 625 times, or for 5 minutes and 12 seconds.
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 Star Swallower Containment Unit has over a Ruthless one is knockback.
