Aestheticus



The Aestheticus is a Pre-Hardmode classless weapon which automatically swings and deal damage in a similar manner to broadswords while firing homing crystals that get their damage multiplied by damage bonuses from all classes. When the crystal hits an enemy or after a few seconds, it splits into 4 crystals that damage and home into enemies after a short time, exploding on successful enemy hits. Both crystals inflict the Vaporfied debuff which deals 15 damage per second and reduces enemy movement speed by 10%.

Tips

 * This weapon does a large amount of damage to segmented enemies due to the fact that all of the segments can have the effect at the same time.

Trivia
