Flower Split

Attacking with the Thorn Blossom. Notice how the petals do not home in on the Super Dummy when it is behind blocks.

The Thorn Blossom is a craftable post-Moon Lord wand that is a direct upgrade to the Arch Amaryllis. When used, it behaves similarly to the Arch Amaryllis, firing a pink flower that does not pierce and slows down horizontally more quickly than it does vertically, causing it to travel in an upwards or downwards curve depending on the direction it's fired. After two seconds, or upon hitting a block, the main projectile splits into six homing petals. The petals last two seconds before fading away. Additionally, it fires three lingering 10-segmented thorn vines, similar to the Nettle Burst's vines, in a randomized spread which deal 135% of the weapon's base damage and no piercing. Every time it is used, the player will lose 3 HP.

Its best modifier is Mythical.

Notes

• Despite sharing the same projectile and velocity as the Arch Amaryllis, the flower fired from the Thorn Blossom is 34% slower.

Trivia

• The tooltip is a reference to the power ballad, "Every Rose Has Its Thorn", by the American glam metal band Poison.
• If the player is killed by the Thorn Blossom's self-damage, the death message "<PlayerName> was violently pricked by a flower." will display.
