The Resonant Striker is a Post-Moon Lord Whip dropped from The Dragonfolly. If the whip hits an enemy, it will create 7 homing orbs that deal 27% damage each. This can only occur once per swing. If the player's whip range is increased by at least 10%, the whip will break into 8 orbs instead. The orbs can penetrate up to 29 enemies, but can only hit the same target thrice before they dissappear. Tagged non-boss enemies are briefly stunned when hit by minions. If the Resonant Striker hits multiple enemies in one attack, its damage will be decreased by 20% for each enemy it hits.
Its best modifier is Legendary.
Trivia
- Though the homing orbs are intended to deal 27% damage of the whip, they are spawned after the whip's piercing damage penalty is applied. Therefore, their effective damage multiplier is actually 21.6%.
- The Resonant Striker will spawn an extra orb on hit for every 30% extra whip range past the initial 10%. For example, a 40% boost to whip range causes it to spawn 9 orbs in total.
- This can be achieved by equipping Tiki Mask with Stardust Chestplate and Stardust Leggings, though it isn't a practical strategy.
- There isn't a hard cap to the amount of times a homing orb can hit the same enemy. Instead, they disappear very quickly and inflicts an effective 45 local immunity frames. This, combined with their relatively slow velocity, means that it is very likely for the orbs to land much less hits in practice.
