Ark of the Cosmos



The Ark of the Cosmos is a craftable post-Moon Lord broadsword that autoswings. It is the final upgrade of the Ark of the Ancients and Biome Blade. It fires a tile-ignoring and enemy-piercing beam sword of one of four colors when swung. In addition, it rains homing, tile-ignoring stars towards the cursor. The blue and orange sword beams inflict the Elemental Mix debuffs onto enemies, while the green and pink beams only inflict the Holy Flames debuff.

Upon any of its projectiles hitting an enemy, a projectile is spawned and the player receives a buff. This is dependent on the biome the player is in. The moon events will also grant different buffs to the player when they are active. All buffs last 10 seconds.

 * The same effect occurs when the player is in a non-Calamity modded biome.

In addition to this, the sword inflicts the same debuffs as its predecessors based on the biome the player is in for 20 seconds.

Tips

 * Ark of the Cosmos is useful against enemies who have high mobility or keep a safe distance away from the player as it shoots lots of high-damage, homing projectiles.
