"This beast, while of lesser stature than the Devourer, is a great danger in its own right."

Storm Weaver is a post-Moon Lord boss and is one of the Rune of Kos bosses. It drops Armored Shells, which are a crafting material that can be used to craft the Cosmic Worm.

Behavior

The Storm Weaver is an aerial worm-like enemy with 31 / 41 / 51 / 61 segments in total. It actively chases the player throughout the battle and does not enrage, even if the player leaves the Space layer. When spawned, it will start raining.

Attacks

Phase 1

The body and head are nearly immune to all damage; the only way to deal significant damage is to hit its tail, which has 0 defense, glows, makes a different hit sound from other segments, and its damage taken is multiplied by 2.
Fires an even barrage of 10 Electric Lasers from its body segments and summons a Lightning Orb from its tail segment every 5 seconds.

Phase 2

Transitions to Phase 2 at 80% health.
Sheds its armor, causing the entire body to be vulnerable.
Increased overall speed and acceleration by 20%.
Every 6.67 / 6 / 5.67 / 5.33 seconds, its color shifts to a dark blue color and quickly charges at the player, summoning three bolts of lightning from the sky in the process. Its color shifts back to normal after performing the attack.

Phase 3

Transitions to Phase 3 at 55% health.
Causes a blizzard to occur in addition to the rain.
Charges half as frequently for the remainder of the battle, and no longer summons lightning when charging.
During 25% of its charge downtime, it summons an even row of 23 / 25 fast and harmless frost clouds. After half a second has passed, Frost Waves rain down in the positions of the frost clouds.

Phase 4

Transitions to Phase 4 at 30% health.
Causes a thunderstorm to occur in addition to the rain and blizzard.
Loses the ability to charge at the player.
Summons 2 additional Frost Waves with 7% less spacing.
Replaces every other Frost Mist attack with 3 / 5 / 7 even columns of tornadoes. Tornadoes last for 20 seconds before disappearing.

In Expert Mode

Increased segment count to 41 and size increased by 10%.
Gains 10% increased velocity and 20% increased acceleration.
Charges 10% more frequently, and charges 10% more frequently at 50% health.
Gains a variation of the Frost Wave attack which has an alternating pattern.
Spawns 5 tornadoes in total with 14.29% less spacing.

In Revengeance Mode

Increased segment count to 51 and size increased by 5%.
Gains 5% increased velocity and 20% increased acceleration.
Charges 5% more frequently, and charges faster as health lowers and its distance to the player.
Types of Frost Wave attacks are randomized between an even rain, an alternating pattern, or a rain that start from the edges and move towards the center.
Spawns 7 tornadoes in total with 14.29% less spacing.
Lightning bolts resulting from charge attacks are 14.29% faster.

In Death Mode

Increased segment count to 61 and size increased by 5%.
Charges 5% more frequently.
Rains 2 additional Frost Waves with 7% less spacing than in Classic Mode.

In Boss Rush

Size increased by 5%.
Gains 15% increased velocity and 20% increased acceleration.
Charges 10% more frequently.
Spawns projectiles 33.33% more frequently during the first phase.

On the For the worthy seed

Gains 1.4x the speed and acceleration, multiplicative of world difficulty.
Size is decreased to 0.7x, multiplicative of world difficulty.

Resistances

All Phase 2 Storm Weaver segments take reduced damage from non-minion piercing projectiles. Projectile damage is divided by the number of times it pierces and infinite piercing deals 50% damage.
On top of this, all segments take:
- 75% damage from the Molten Amputator's globs.
- 50% damage from the Pristine Fury's alt fire, Elemental Axe and Dazzling Stabber Staff, Tactician's Trump Card explosion, and true melee hits.

Tips

For more elaborate strategies on defeating Storm Weaver, including weapon and arena recommendations, see Guide:Storm Weaver strategies.

Stay on the ground and don't panic if you're almost dead. Panicking will often lead to you trying to outrun the Weaver, which is not possible.
Gravistar Sabaton can help you fall faster, helping to kite the boss and avoid its head.
Mobility is the key to this battle. Although it is hard to outrun the Weaver, using dash abilities or the Rod of Discord or Normality Relocator can save you from the massive damage caused by its head.
Gravity Normalizer Potions can be used to counteract the low gravity in Space allowing easier maneuverability.
For the first form use piercing weapons and weapons with a large blast radius, as these can help hit the tail of the Weaver. You can easily out-maneuver the first phase with Celestial Tracers by circling around the Storm Weaver while being in space. This method also helps dodge the Weaver's summons and fired laser beams.
The orbs that Storm Weaver fires do not deal contact damage, only the lightning bolts themselves.
Homing weapons are recommended for Phase 1 as they can easily hit the tail.
The Elemental Shiv is recommended for this fight due to the homing capabilities and the amount of projectiles it produces.
The Telluric Glare does good damage to Phase 2 with its piercing and ignoring immunity frames.
Nuclear Fury is an excellent choice with homing capabilities allowing it to easily hit the tail in Phase 1 and swarm weaver with typhoons in Phase 2.
The Shattered Sun does good in Phase 1 as it homes in on the tail, but Molten Amputators excel in Phase 2.
Elemental Axes are an excellent choice quickly dispatching the Storm Weaver.
While the Storm Weaver can be fought before any other post-Moon Lord boss, it is recommended to fight it after Providence has been defeated, as its fast speed and high damage can make the fight very challenging.

Trivia

The Bestiary entry for the Storm Weaver: "An invasive pest from another dimension crowned by many as king of the skies, soaring across the upper atmosphere at near unmatched speed. Unlike the other beings from the Distortion, the Storm Weaver lacks higher purpose, feasting upon the remnants of the civilization that once dwelled in the skies."

Storm Weaver's theme is a segment from Servants of the Scourge, which was composed by the artist DM DOKURO.
- This theme contains a motif from The Devourer of Gods' theme.
According to the lore, while it is commonly thought that the Storm Weaver is the same species as The Devourer of Gods, Draedon confirms that this is false when communicated with.
The Storm Weaver, along with Ceaseless Void and Signus, can be summoned right after the Moon Lord is defeated, as their summoning item only requires Solar Fragments, Luminite Bars, and Unholy Essences.
If the Boss Checklist Mod is installed, its unique despawn message will be "Storm Weaver hides itself within the fierce anvilhead clouds."
