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.

History

These history sections are still a work-in-progress, and may not yet contain changes relevant to the current version of the Calamity Mod.
  • 2.0.4.001:
    • Echo hammer now homes towards the closest enemy instead of the earliest enemy in the NPC array.
    • Now uses the Rarity Level: 11 rarity instead of Rarity Level: 10.
    • Increased sell price from 20 Gold Coin to 24 Gold Coin.
  • 2.0.3.007:
    • Resprited spectral hammer. Previous sprite was Stellar Contempt Echo (2.0.3.001).png
    • Fixed its damage falloff applying to the initial hit.
  • 2.0.3.003: Fixed it not having decreased volume on its charge sound.
  • 2.0.3.002: Echo hammers now take 0.7 seconds to begin homing instead of 0.92, and now decelerate more heavily as they are spawned. Adjusted their backup homing motion to be faster.
  • 2.0.3.001:
    • Reworked:
      • Buffed damage from 300 to 650, knockback from 9 to 28, and shot speed from 18 to 25, but nerfed use time from 13 to 45.
      • No longer throws a hammer that functions like a boomerang and spawns lunar flares on hits.
      • Now throws a fast hammer that rains lunar flares and returns to the player on enemy hits. The more hits landed, the more lunar flares are rained.
      • After landing a hit with the hammer four times, an echo hammer is spawned which briefly charges up before quickly homing in, dealing 600% base damage and exploding on hit, and the hit counter is reset.
  • 1.5.1.001:
    • Hammer now inflicts Nightwither for 4 seconds instead of 8 at night.

    • Nerfed damage from 575 to 350 for the melee variant, and 325 for the rogue variant.
    • On-hit lunar flares no longer deal flat damage.
  • 1.4.2.105: Fixed thrown item using an outdated sprite.
