Use

The Elemental Lance is a craftable post-Moon Lord spear. When used, it fires one gravity-affected cyan beam that splits into more beams with similar properties. All beams travel for a long distance before being affected by gravity.

Each usage of the Elemental Lance results in 162 orange beams at most, if the blue and pink beams do not prematurely dissipate on enemies. All beams can move through tiles.

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.
