Game Mechanics Star Cannon Upgrade

[Fisher792]

Really I believe just about every weapon in Terraria is about the right damage. Except one item that I would love to see some change to. It does do 57 damage, which is a lot, but it costs a fallen star... I think maybe around 80 dmg is much more reasonable, and to make it less OP, have it so if it's used during the day the star dissapears.

A: That's a lot of damage!
B: The issue with the latter is tuat it doesn't create balance, it creates a long wait. Nothing is day exclusive, so for all bosses except king slime star cannon users would simply lie in wait to use their high damage (now extra high damage) cannons.

Their are also no poll options for your latter change.

I think what you meant to say was to buff the Star Cannon to deal 80 damage, but only at night, and deal 57 damage when used during the day.

Anyways, I hear that the Star Cannon is getting an upgrade in 1.3.6, so if you’re a fan of this weapon I wouldn’t worry too much about the developers neglecting it.
