Supercharged Hammer Hit

The Stellar Contempt is a craftable post-Moon Lord melee weapon and the direct upgrade to the Fallen Paladin's Hammer. When used, it throws a fast gravity-affected hammer that passes through tiles. Upon hitting an enemy, it slows down and starts returning to the player. It pierces infinitely while doing so, but each hit reduces the damage of the next by 10%.

Up to 5 times, thrown hammer hits have increasingly higher pitched hit sounds and summon 1 additional lunar flare from the sky. The lunar flares deal 10% of the weapon's damage.

Upon the 5th hit, the hammer launches itself upwards instead of summoning lunar flares and returning to the player. The hammer then supercharges, enlarging and homing onto an enemy after 0.92 seconds. The supercharged hammer deals 600% of the weapon's damage and causes a very large explosion on hit, shaking the screen and dealing an additional 300% of the weapon's damage to all enemies within its radius.

Its best modifier is Godly. It cannot get modifiers that affect size.
