The Oracle is a craftable post-Moon Lord yoyo. It builds charge each time it strikes an enemy directly, creating a growing aura of red lightning which shocks nearby enemies every 10 frames. Once the yoyo is sufficiently charged, it fires three orbs in a triangular pattern on every third direct hit. Each orb deals triple the yoyo's damage.

The Oracle's red lightning aura shrinks and eventually vanishes when not striking any foes. Its size and damage increase with every successive hit landed by the yoyo; the damage continues to rise even after the lightning aura stops visibly growing. The lightning aura has a base damage of 100 and is boosted by the user's melee stats. At maximum charge, the lightning aura deals 220 damage.

Its best modifier is Godly. It cannot get modifiers that affect size. Ruthless might be preferred if the player already has 100% critical strike chance.
