Asking people their favorite...

[Sozony]

What would be your favorite Boss-Themed weapon? Not a weapon that drops from a boss. For example, The Eye of Cthuluhu YoYo would be a great example! So like that, but not in the game. What would it do and what would it look like?

So what you're saying is you want people to come up with boss-themed weapons that aren't already in the game?

The lunatic cultist-
The dragon tome: summons a phantasmal dragon in the spot it was used, and will fly forward and dash into the enemy, refusing it’s length until it reaches the tail. Pierces defense.

Yup! Pretty much.

destroyer staff: stardust dragon resprite but instead it's destroyer. every summon creates a new segment. every segment constantly shoots out lasers. it can also deal contact damage similarly to the stardust dragon.
a probe staff could be neat as well but not as interesting.

Plantera mount. Let's you move like plantera, when you are under 50% health the mount enrages and you gain increased damage and attack speed, and the mount attacks enemies too.

Fargo's mod already has that, it's dropped from destroyer of 10% chance

Hive rod: a minion, can only summon once (like the sun god staff from calamity), summons two hives that orbit around you.
when the hive were shot or touched by enemies, burst into swarm of bees to attack enemies (have a 2 second cooldown tho)
requires two minion slots to summon
a alt to the horest staff, also requires 12 bee waxes
(idk I don't know this is really a boss themed weapon, but I like it)

[SuperSkeletonboi]

Prime laser, similar to lasermachine gun but uses bullets and boost ammo effects (example: meteor shot now bounce off walls more than once.)
80 dmg
12%crit chance
speed 5
average knocback

Expert alternate for mechs

 

[ClorophyteArmorNoob]

Duel-Lasers
Magic weapon, while using it creates a shield of cursed flames around you almost like a Guon Stone pattern that blocks projectiles and fires retinazer lasers

 

[Kane Schmitz]

Ogre Snot cannon
It’s obvious what it does
