With an even further excess of energy, the starite gains the ability to detach its segments and swing them in an orbit as dangerous weapons.

— Bestiary (Hyper Starite)

Hyper Starites are a pre-Hardmode enemy that only appears during a Glimmer. It starts off in an idle state; however when it gets in sight of the player or takes damage, it will start attempting to attack by moving close towards the player. After a few seconds, it enters a proper attack state where it rotates its arms outwards in an attempt to hit the player.

In Classic Mode, it has a 25*1/4 (25%) to inflict On Fire! for 3 seconds, and a 50*1/2 (50%) to inflict Darkness for 30 seconds. In Expert Mode and Master Mode, On Fire! is replaced with Blue Fire, and Darkness is replaced with Blackout, and the chances to inflict debuffs are increased to 100%. In both difficulties, it has a 8.33%/25% chance to inflict inflict Cursed.

Hyper Starites begin spawning 800 tiles (51% Progression) away from the Source of the Glimmer, and enter their maximum spawnrate when at 500 tiles (70% Progression) away from the Source. There can only be one Hyper Starite alive at any time, unless you are above 70% progression, then 2 Hyper Starites can be alive at any time.

When killed, a Dwarf Starite will spawn in the location of the Hyper Starite's death.
