The Core Controller was a craftable Hardmode summon weapon. It summoned a Thermal Tank that launched rockets at nearby enemies. The Tank would remain stationary unless there was an obstacle between it and its target, at which point it would try and go around the obstacle until it had a line of sight with the target.
The summoned Thermal Tank inflicted Minion damage but was different from traditional Minions in that it did not count toward the maximum Minion count and did not follow the player.
As the Thermal Tank did not count towards the Minion cap, it would not cause any traditional minions to despawn; though summoning a second Thermal Tank would cause the first to disappear, unless the player had sentry bonuses.
Its best modifier was Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stat bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits. The only lasting advantage a Mythical Core Controller had over a Ruthless one is knockback.
