Starcharger Holdout

Positive Arrow

Negative Arrow

The Starcharger is a craftable Pre-Hardmode bow. When the bow is in use, a quiver appears behind the player's back which changes color based on the arrow type the bow fires. Pressing left click fires three weak positive arrows that stick to tiles and enemies, these arrows disappear after some time or when firing more of these arrows. Pressing right click instead fires a single powerful negative arrow that shatters on hit. The negative arrows home in on nearby positive arrows, causing both charged arrows to explode into a star-shape figure on direct contact.

Its best modifier is Unreal.
