The Star Cannon is a fast firing weapon that shoots Fallen Stars, making it difficult to collect ammunition for. Similar to the Thorn Chakram, the Star Cannon can be shot through walls that are 2 blocks thick, provided your character is standing against said wall. The Star Cannon has a range of 50 blocks, however, if the Fallen Star hits a Wood Platform it will vanish, unlike other types of ammo. It possesses one of the highest DPS (Damage Per second) ratings in the game.

Trivia

• Using the Necro Armor set provides 20% chance not to consume ammo and the Adamantite Armor set provides 25% chance, which may be necessary to keep from running out of ammo.
• Since the Star Cannon has no knockback, it is impossible to reforge it with a knockback-increasing prefix (unreal, godly, superior, etc.)
• There's a bug that, if you put a block then a platform under it and shoot with the star cannon, the projectile won't collide with the block you placed.
