Not to be confused with Genesis Pickaxe, a tool capable of mining Uelibloom Ore.

The Genesis is a craftable post-Moon Lord magic gun. When used, it fires an array of eight lasers that pierce once and decrease in their spread on successive shots. Every 6th shot, the weapon instead fires a powerful splitting beam in a Y-shape, which deals 900% damage and resets the laser spread for the following set of shots. Enemies that are hit in close-range will cause the Y-beam to split immediately and take 1350% damage instead of 900%. The lasers and beams can both pass through tiles.

Its best modifier is Mythical. However, the weapon's use time will not be affected.

Trivia

• The Genesis was originally implemented based on a community suggestion made by Gouvod on the mod's Terraria Forums post.
  • The weapon's former name of "Genisis" was due to a spelling error in the suggestion.
