- Is this really the worst biome chest weapon in Terraria? The Rainbow Gun. In this video, I take a look at the least popular biome chest weapon in the game, and see if it really is as bad as we make out. The functionality of this weapon is very unique and fun but is it useful enough to be utilised during post Plantera progression? And out of all the biome chest weapons, is it worth going for when you have options like the Vampire Knives?

Anyone else find hallowed keys the easiest to obtain?
I do, they sometimes feel like a 1/100 chance after I kill Plantera.
i always get a jungle key first for some reason :(
It's been twice now that I've gotten two Hollowed Keys when farming for biome keys in a world, most definitely~
i got 5 in my first playthrough of trrraria
In most worlds I get temple key first, I think it's the most consistent out of them
I think the rainbow should be wider and it should slow enemies. That should help it stick to enemies better.
I think you can go super crazy with if you want. make the whole underside work like the nimbus rod.
or just a really small knock back that’s just strong enough to slow em
Slow is a good idea. Is there any weapon that inflicts it? If not this would be a good one for it.
@@addaku I think they mean small knockback
theres an upgrade in calamity mod thats really awesome for bossfights
The rainbow gun isn’t necessarily a good weapon by itself, but it’s an excellent choice for a combo mage setup. If paired with other lingering magic weapons like the magnet sphere, inferno fork, toxic flask, nimbus rod, and even clinger staff, you can push out a frankly ludicrous amount of DPS.
Was gonna say that all these trap weapons when used together lead to massive screen clearing during enemy events. Still, it’s not a glamorous choice for a post plantera weapon unless you actually went out of your way to clear every event and Old One’s Army before Moonlord.
Thank you. Don't just shoot the rainbow and stand there doing nothing - shoot it and switch to something else.
The best kind of build. On a similar note: Summoners, use Ichor/Betsy's Wrath! That's a great debuff. Also get some stuff with knockback spam etc. to keep you safe, unless you wanna do a pure class run, of course. Iirc Daybreak also has partially flat dmg that remains the same across stats, could be a nice pick for summoners after applying debuffs. (Ohh wait, they added whips...) I'd love to hear more ways for summoners to make themselves useful aside from their passive dmg, even if it only applies to co-op. If you're good, you could of course try to get aggro and dodge in co-op, since you're not reliant on aiming etc. as much, and solo it's just comfy.
I remember when they had just released Plantera and Golem as well as the Pumpkin Moon event. I was playing with a couple friends, each of us a different class (mage, ranger, and melee). I used the rainbow gun, nimbus rod, and magnet sphere to boost my dps and healing output and swapped to a different weapon while the traps were active (I think the bat staff was the highest dps at the time). it was a powerful enough setup to let our melee buddy facetank the entire event to wave 15 or so, definitely an overhated weapon in the community as it still just provides a strong passive dps increase during events/boss farms even after ML. rainbow gun and nimbus rod are still relevant for min/maxing even at endgame imo

The main thing about biome wepons in general is that them being post plantera hurts it soo much, even the vampire knives which is probably the best one are overshadowed by plantera and golem drops, seedler, possessed hatchet, etc...
The things is the vampire knives still usefull cause the function of them is heal, never was about making damage, is the only biome chest weapons that i found usefull in every state of the game, even post moon lord
@@riber2233 the healing was nerfed and it is not as great now as it was making it quite not as viable as before nerfs but still good though you really need damage post plantera since the utility of the vampire knifes loses you a lot of dps with short range if you try to use it VS a boss with a better weapon in hand
Also its range is awful so trying to get the healing isnt even viable against lets say cultist with a somewhat small hitbox and quick movement
@@youseftheh4869 it’s good for the pillars and UFO invasion
@@youseftheh4869 they're really good for taking out the solar pillar since the crawlipede takes extra damage that means you get way more healing out of it, and has saved my butt a few times.
But in general I find it's better to try to avoid damage than to use it for healing, unless I'm facing a large amount of enemies that have to make contact with me and have zero range
scourge
I use it on Old One's Army and it works incredible! Basically keeps one of the sides clear for you. But that's mostly it unfortunately, could use some buffs. Probably people mostly use it just to get the Rainbows and Unicorns achievement...
I would say, I disagree with the Golem test.
For the initial fight, you're going to be fighting golem in the Jungle Temple, and it's arena is a closed off and cramped space, meaning it would shine more as a support weapon.
Obviously this doesn't save the weapon at all, but you really should've showed this off as it would've been more effective than fighting Golem out in the open.
I love support mage weapons. The mage weapon from the dont starve collab that i forgot the name of that shoots out a tornado. And basically acts like a mage summon. I really love it.
3:19 the rainbow there actually does a great job of keeping many enemies away from you so it would actually act as a great crowd control weapon, but it immediately becomes apparent that the duration of the rainbow itself feels very short. An increase in that duration or widening the rainbow (or both) could actually be a really great buff for the rainbow gun
It could use a longer duration before it bends downward so that you can actually use it for ground cover, alongside a sentry-like duration, on top of an increase in damage or attack frequency. 300 DPS for a post Plantera weapon is just way too low, and even other supports, such as the nimbus rod, prove far more effective than it- both lasting longer and handling kb resistant enemies with it's high attack frequency.
But that’s just for single target dps. It literally did 4000 dps consistently to the group of dummies and got to 9k on mummies. It’s more a support weapon than a primary weapon for dps anyways. It has great cc and mobbing. I really don’t see why people think it needs buffs.
@@joshuabalina4137 It's because the mob events that matter at that point are just kind of too beefy for it to really shine, and its narrow width, weird trajectory, short duration and perhaps most importantly lack of knockback make it really struggle at actually keeping anything inside its field. It's great against enemies that run at you in a straight line, like old one's army's goons, where it's at its best, but you need to be on the ground to actually line up that shot, and in places like the seasonal moons (some of the "on-level" content for the time you get this thing) the ground is one of the last places you'll want to be (especially pumpkin moon when mourning is throwing sticky-fire all over the damn place)
Even the solar pillar, where you'll be ground-locked and this weapon *should* perform fantastic, it will struggle because all the solar enemies have weird attack movements. Corites go through walls, selenians do their spinny-jump attack, etc...
I love the concept of this weapon but it's so hard to use for anything more than absolutely pitiful chip damage in most cases because of its low damage on anything that can just slip through it (which is most things)
I'd love to see it overhauled, I know it's supposed to be a lategame upgrade/supplement to the nimbus rod, but I kinda struggle to see how they could buff it to be viable while preserving its unique identity unless they totally changed it altogether (like they're doing with True Excalibur and the like)
Well, I used this thing on mobile 1.2, and it was really good for defending me against normal mobs during the night, while I was doing something.
It's usable, but I think it needs to be buffed in another way - it's not going to let enemies pass through it, creating sort of barrier. Projectiles probably will be able to pass through it tho, since it would be too op. And every time enemy touch it, it will be damaged, with dmg increasing each hit(1 touch - 10 dmg, 2 touch - 25 and so on).
It's already too op if enemies can't pass through.
It's funny how bosses had less health on mobile and 3Ds 1.2. Rainbow gun is in a weird place where if it just gets a straight up damage buff there is potential for it to be broken against a certain invasion. As for trapping enemies. If their is one enemy AI I hate with a burning passion its Spider AI. Jungle Creepers and Sand Poachers can be so devastating when they connect with acid venom and even in general with high damage especially on higher difficulties.
Me and my friend did a master mode run together, and this was the only key that dropped through the whole one. As I was doing magic, it was worth giving the weapon a shot. And it remained in my rotation till moon lord. Not a great weapon, but very easy to just throw out for a moment, and nice for event. Combine it with the Spectral armor bonus and it is rather solid
You should do a video about the razorpine and bat scepter. Two of the biggest mage powerhouse pre 1.3 but you don’t see them nearly as often now same case with most of the forgotten weapons of the pumpkin and frost moon. Especially because of how difficult they can be to obtain in the harder difficulties. Especially the elf copters they are absolutely maddening
Bat scepter vid is already made hehe
This weapon will always have a special place in my heart. Since I ended up getting it way earlier through a bugged wooden chest, which helped me shred through pre-hardmode.
maybe yes. unlike the staff of the frost hydra which is also a support weapon, the rainbow gun kinda gets overshadowed by other mage weapons at it stage, unlike the staff which is probably one of the best sentries at the time you get it.
ballista
Its good because you place it down and forget about it.
Rainbow staff you have to remember to use every 20 or so seconds, and the arc must be a good one, meaning atleast a few uses.
Just not worth it for the minor enemy control it gives.
@@NuggetOG Pretty sure both the hydra staff and the rainbow gun have been confirmed to be getting a duration buff. With the Hydra Staff though it is significant as it lasts 5 times as long going from a 2 minute duration to a 10 minute one.
It's amazing for Old One's Army T3, Solar Eclipse V2, Martian Madness, Pumpkin Moon and Frost Moon.
Placed correctly on the ground together with a shallow puddle of lava makes quick work of all ground non-boss enemies allowing you to focus your single target weapons on the more important targets and considerably speeding up the progress through the waves.
It may not be a boss killer, and completely useless against flying enemies, but it doesn't need to. It fills a role that almost no weapon in the game can and it does so efficiently. It's an event clearer weapon that drops at the same time all main events become available.
Imagine combining the Rainbow gun and the Nimbus Cloud, both under rated both need each other.
just an idea would be like if you could merge the two together and make something like a rainbow cloud gun or something, shoots out 2 rainbow streams and 3 larger then the normal rainbow nimbus clouds.
just a thought since the vid pasted by me just now
You should check this weapon out again, since it got a couple buffs in 1.4.4 that makes it far better when used with other weapons.
(It lasts twice as long and allows other weapons to hit enemies at the same time, which doesn't sound like much but it seems to deal with its main problem.)
The best event for this is the Old Ones Army, at the start of a wave just slap a rainbow straight toward the portal, murders any non flying enemies the whole time. I used the rainbow ALOT, including the Lunar event especially cause of the specter healing effect.
Sockrteez: "The rainbow gun is easily the most unliked biome weapon."
Me, who finds it an absolute necessity unde most playthroughs for the moon events: "I see."
I find it too tedious to use regularly, but it does have a special place in my heart since it reminds me of the old days playing Terraria with my brothers on the 360
I think the buff that could work for this weapon:
1. is increasing the Width of the Rainbow Gun more, reducing the I-frames, increased slightly on knockback, reduced damage.
2. When “shooting” the Rainbow gun it releases a High damaging projectile that pierces and explodes into glitters or whatever on tile hit and leaves a Trail of damaging Rainbow that lasts long.
This is to Compensate and give it a function that could stand out from other weapons, it basically “Stun-Locks/Slow down” enemies who enter the the rainbow, its not really a Stun-lock, but having reduced I-frames this can slow the enemies inside it. Making it very good for crowded enemies and making it a good support weapon.
The increased damage for the projectile, is to compensate at least a little bit against Bosses.
Any thoughts? Is it too broken, Or needs more?
From my experience, the Rainbow Gun is one of the best biome weapons you can get. Just plop down a rainbow and worry about enemies coming in from the other side. Even in Master Mode, it's a damn good weapon.
I think it's hilarious that people hate this weapon simply because they use it for the wrong purpose.
I think this video missed a lot, this is primarily a utility weapon:
1) You can completely clear a line in old one's army, that makes it half as easy
2) You can use it to summon EoL outside of hallow (although nimbus rod does it better)
3) It's a great cheese weapon
4) The persistent projectiles are still great for groups
5) You are likely to get a hallowed key before you can obtain it, recently I got 3 while grinding for rod of disocord and 1 while grinding for prismatic lacewings.
I know noone would probably see this but rainbow gun rainbows disappear only after extremely long periods of time, which makes them really nice to use in conjunction with other magic weapons. The most efficient way of using it that I found was combining it with magnet sphere (which has similar ups and downs) and an "actual damaging weapon" like spectre staff. That's when it really makes scary late game events so much easier
I mean, it's good for events, but not much else
I'm here on my "one mana star mage" playthorugh, thinking the Rainbow Gun would be an amazing support weapon for my challenge, and then I get hit with *"Is this really the worst biome chest weapon in Terraria?"*
if i were to buff the rainbow gun, i'd make it work like the clinger staff where enemies couldn't pass through it as if there were blocks there, as well as making the rainbow at least 3x thicker. If it was changed to work like this, you could use it as a sort of "trapping" method to render some enemies immobile while taking pretty good damage, though full immobility could be a bit too strong, so maybe just enemy slowing could be better
Or, if you wanted to rework the weapon to be viable on its own, you could have the rainbow arc from enemy to enemy as well as having the lingering trail, so if you hit one enemy, the beam would jump to another enemy, then another, perhaps up to 7 times, and have the beams linger for a few seconds too, that way the weapon could be used more primarily rather than as a side-weapon, and would be THE crowd control weapon.
It makes events as a specter healing mage very easy.. if you set up the rainbow gun to take all the small enemies and put to rain clouds above yourself. The event monsters will have a very hard time killing u if you also use something like a bat specter
Something i always thought of as a great idea for biome weapons was either they get a bonus damage for being in a biome like most buff in its own biome so rainbow gun would do 3x damage in hallowed but would use its base stats in crim/corrupt. Even something like the grand design that overall buffs them and lets you switch between them or is a new weapon with combined effects like the pirhanna now does life steal and shoots out the tiny eaters that leave rainbow trails. Maybe need a moon lord item to craft it but due to how long it can take to get all 6 weapons it would make a pretty post game weapon.
I only really used it for the large mob events (goblin army, pirate invasion, pumpkin and frost moon) as more of a way to try and prevent NPCs from dying just so I don’t have to wait for them to respawn to sell stuff or buy whatever specific things I want or shuffle them to their designated homes
Absolutely crazy to think just 9 Months ago you were averaging just under 1k viewers, the amount of growth here is amazing, I cant wait to see whats in store for the future
Definitely want it to be buffed in other situations but if they just flat out buffed it’s damage it would make the old one’s army (except Betsy) a total joke.
During a solar eclipse this weapon really shines because it arcs over you and the knockback briefly stops enemies which would have otherwise thrown themselves at you at mach 10
i love the rainbow gun during events especially the old ones army
I like to use the hallowed gun as a substitute for the sentires in the old ones army. And build my defenses on the left side where the primary boss spawns. I don’t think it’s necessarily bad, just a specific niche. Also in the golem fight, the rainbow gun can help hold back the fists sort of as a shield, even if you can knock them back easily it’s nice to have a small damage shield.
with the armor bonus from the spectre armor set with hood and during an event like the frost moon you can hit lots of enemies at once passively giving you free health and preventing you from dying
I personally always used this weapon, I remember using it a lot when I played way before 1.4. Use it alongside a Nimbus rod and you just have some extra passive damage going on while you use something else.
Really usefull for old ones army
1:08 I really don't know how I've been ignoring the bat scepter so long, it's good enough to kill the moon lord
y'know how they buffed the piranha gun to shoot three piranhas instead of one? yeah, maybe the same could be done for the rainbow gun
and perhaps an upgrade to the rainbow gun could make it emit homing particles similar to that of the rainbow rod (except not controllable)
Seeing your new upload on the explore page after getting home from a night shift has to be one of the best feelings ever
It would be better if they made the gun do no knock back, and hit enemies more by making the gun ignore i-frames or something like that.
The biome weapons where added to originally be obtained before fighting plantira. At one point I recall you getting key molds and using dungeon keys to craft them
I find it really useful on a summoner build, as the rainbow can be used as a momentum killer on most enemies to allow more summon damage before it can get to me. It and the Clinger Staff are effectively speed bumps rather than direct attacks.
i found the rainbow gun to be incredibly good for old ones army, because you can if you line it up right you can shoot it straight and have it curve down ending on the portal so it hits every mob, idk about post golem but post mech boss you can easily just place it down to deal with most mobs and then take care of the flying enemies yourself
I think it could have a novel zoning role if it were to have much higher knockback. Then the actual rainbow arc shape would make more sense than trying to get an ideal straight line that enemies walk they for damage’s sake
I’m currently doing a mage playthrough, this weapon is great for golem especially during his first phase and it’s usefulness drops when you don’t fight in the lizhard temple because of his restricted movement, I find this we open to also be great for events such the pumpkin mooon because if you just shoot a rainbow right next to the ground it helps kill the event bosses and the regular enemies while your focused on other things.
actually, it's good with nebula armor because of the way boosters generate by magic DAMAGE and not after killing an enemy. so for bosses like lunatic cultist, it's useful for generating a lot of boosters. which is why i reforged my rainbow gun to be broken, to hit as much as possible. it's also great on events
The rainbow gun is really good if you play with friends. Having a tank on the team so that the bosses stand more still lets it perform much better once you've got a decent angle. It's kind of just free dps really, similar to the nimbus rod.
The best method for getting hallowed keys for me is dropping holy water around the edge of the jungle so the intersection between them corresponds to both. The amount of keys I ena up with without even trying for them is _disgusting._
Fun fact me and my friend were just playing terraria and we randomly came across a hallowed and crimson key in the same terraria day
The thing is in 1.3 people use to shoot one of the pillars and when they die the rainbow would still kill the pillar while they were gone.
First it creates a 100% safe wall. It can guarantee damage and make sure that things like mimics and dukes bubbles can never pass. It basically is an upgrade to the evil tome due to being a LOT bigger and be able to be aimed in all directions. Also it can easily be thrown out and forgotten, like the nimbus rod. You just need to make sure it actually connects, which it clearly didn't in the biome mimic showcase.
i think its good as support DONT go out of ur way to get this but usally ill get a key before plantera anyway so i get itt and use it for the quick second it takes to place it down, it stays a while and does damge that makes up for the second u used to place it so it finds a spot in my hotbar if i obtain a key
It’s terrific for the old ones army! Set it up aiming at one of the portals with the nimbus clouds above it and you won’t have to worry about that side nearly as much as normal at least for the weaker mob waves.
Adding a jungle biome near you will also increase spawn rates.
I personally think the rainbow gun is underrated because if youre up in the air, you can shoot it downwards, and while fighting pretty much any boss, its just extra added DPS. Just make it cross through your arena! Then kite the boss through it and blam. Its not a solo weapon, its just a good addition to dps.
The rainbow gun was the only way for me to defeat the old ones army on my mmftw playthrough without pillar weapons. I had to use the nimbus rod and clinger staff as well to block one side for the first couple waves until i could place enough balistas and fireball tower to deal with it. Sadly once you have an additional player it instantly becomes obsolete since etherian mana drops sooo much faster (as well as being able to split the sides between the two of you)
I personally really like this weapon. It's not something that you will be using during a fight, but something you use to prepare for the fight. The combination of the Nimbus Rod, Clinger Staff and Rainbow gun is amazing to start any boss fight if you space these correctly
I think you should be able to completely draw freely with it like a paintbrush, with a limit of course. Just having more control where it goes would be a game changer
I like to think of the rainbow gun as more of a fire and swap to another caster weapon kind of style, especially with specter healer armor. Each tick of damage gets you back around 10 HP, making it a very mana efficient heal. So you fire it in a way that covers an area where the enemies group up, swap to your main magic weapon and go to town. Heck, throw in that cloud maker staff thing for another source of magic damage you can set and forget and you have a ton of passive health regeneration/damage!
It's fantastic for taking down the celestial towers first time, fend off the creatures, and once the shield is gone, use the rainbow to keep damage on the tower while you defend yourself against other enemies
Also brilliant for the enemies with the portals and the gem
What's the gem?
@@FLUX.2226 Bit late, but I think they're referring to the Old One's Army.
@@sayyoanmahadhevan1569 Oh yeah that makes sense lol. Strange I didn't think of that, considering I had already used the rainbow gun for OOA myself.
To be fair, i really used this weapon for some moments, mainly on the special moon like the frost one, it really helped me to kill more enemys on some areas
You know what I think would be really cool if that the rainbow gun was like a mini last prism it could deal a bit less damage but have a charge up and fire in its signature rainbow type curve
Having done a 4 player playthrough with all of us using rainbow guns for passive damage, it really shines. Made a lot of bosses so much easier on FTW
I like the rainbow gun because I find it to be very effective against invasions due to its large linear AOE and "fire and forget" nature. Pirates, aliens, and elves often stay grounded so they're basically guaranteed to get hit and gradually get whittled away. Also the Santank, Everscream, and Flying Dutchman don't move vertically in most circumstances so it's guaranteed chip damage!
The best use for the rainbow gun is supplement damage in the old one’s army, or to kill prismatic lacewings without them getting away
The only thing i use it on is after killing all the enemies during the pillar events and use it on the pillar with a nimbus rod, so it leads to a constant stream of damage as it is stationary.
I would just throw it out with the nimbus rod and frost hydra staff at the beginning of most fights. It seemed fine, biggest issue was that sometimes my weapons wouldn't hit the enemy due to I frames, that being said this was normal mode and I didn't bother with it when I did expert mode.
2:40 you don't need to reposition it just place it in a good spot in a boss fight and the boss will consistently run into it. Like a nimbus cloud
its good against slow moving bosses like golem and good for farming events
I personally use the rainbow gun quite often. I think its just very fun to use and if you master how to use it, it's actually really good. I use it in events and on a couple of bosses as a support weapon. (after getting good with it you can shoot a really good beam in 3 seconds and be back on your other weapon).
maybe if it had more knockback as to prevent enemies from passing through and effectively making a wall, perhaps it would be more useful.
i only use the rainbow gun for support, before i start a boss battle i place it but other then that i reallly love the achivement raibows and unicors it just shows the style of terraria it makes me happy
I usually only get the rainbow gun for old one's army tier 3 because it basically invalidates all of the basic enemies for one portal
It's really usefull agains't golem, just put a rainbow alongside two nimbus cloud and spawn it. With the right build, it can deal a lot of damage early on. (Yeah, that's the only situation I found)
I love the rainbow gun and I use it on the old ones army combined with the clinger staff to decimate one side where I dont need to worry about it until I need to replace the rainbow.
I think you should make a video on the forbidden armor. It’s a pre-mech armor set that is the desert counterpart of the Frost armor. While Frost armor is good for melee and rangers, Forbidden armor is amazing for mage ab summoners. As well as a high defense for pre-mech mage/summoner, it gradually increases your damage. And the best part is the set bonus. When you right click, a sandstorm appears that does about 40 dps on its own. But with multiple sandstorms at a time, it can do a ton of damage for a pre-mech armor set bonus. This armor can bring you up to golem and I think you should make a video on it.
If you're trying to beat master as a mage but can't handle the events simply fill an arc shaped room with slime statues and have them on a flicker so you can have the static raibow finish event almost instantly.
Old ones army, I've used it as a Melee class, allowing me to focus on a one side invasion, it's also not bad against a piller that dropped it's sheild, as even in master mode it's fire and forget
Quite a mediocre weapon for anything that isn't crowd control, or blocking an area from enemies. Which it doesn't even do well at! The Clinger Staff is much better for blocking enemies from coming near you, due to it's knockback. Perhaps you could do a video on it?
I love using it for Martian madness and old one's army
The old man’s army is pretty good use for it. Stack one side with sentries and the other with the rainbow gun
Rainbow gun isn’t that good, but I think it’s still better than the frost hydra staff as it attacks slow and for one target. Rainbow gun is to be used as the nimbus rod, and if you combo the rainbow gun and nimbus rod for a boss like golem with specter armor, it’s a great combination for damage and healing. Defidently a support weapon for invasions and to gain passive damage and health.
Yeah I don't think even pirhana gun is as bad as frost hydra
im a big fan of the rainbow gun but i do have to agree with most of your points as it is a flawed weapon, however the golem complain didnt make sense as when you fight it in the temple the rainbow gun is very useful as the golem doesnt have anywhere to go
personally i find the rainbow gun great for Duke Fishron as he tends to fly through it frequently enough to warrant re-casting the rainbow. as a summoner main, i find it much easier to use and more effective than the Frost Hydra, which is by far my least favorite dungeon chest item.
They could make the rainbow gun much more viable if the rainbow dropped damaging projectiles beneath it like the tempest staff. That way is has an area of (probably lesser) damage, as well as its usual line of damage.
I generally play modded terraria, most of which will buff enemies aside from the weapons
I use rainbow gun as a solid support as it takes just as much time to shoot it out as it does to use a RoD, only a second or two, and for most cases it does enough damage to compensate
I actually use rainbow gun as a support on invasions like Pumpkin moon, it helps a lot to ascend quicker
He’s how to buff it:
make the duration last 30 seconds so you don’t need to swap as much.
Make the first tick of damage deal 10x the normal amount of damage so it’s not broken for multi target but when one enemy runs through it they will still take a reasonable amount of damage
I play terraria on my Xbox 360, meaning I don't have as many weapons to use in my version than current terraria. So when I got the hallow key I was excited to what I would get. Since I got it when I was in golem esc stage. It seemed like a brilliant weapon. It was very useful to me because it seemed like every day I was farming for items. I still use it to this day and it's very handy for crowds of enemy's.
how about when you fire the rainbow, enemies cannot pass it. They just take knockback and fall back. This would include flying enemies too.
I primarily used it to just get the achievement, and nothing else since it's not worth farming for nor is it worth going to the post-plantera dungeon to just get it even if you hot the key by luck unless you have other reasons to go to the dungeon
As Chippy has proven time and time again, this is a perfect weapon to cheese the Old One's Army with. Just place one down near the portal where the enemies spawn from and voila!
I only really used this weapon in ground waves and in the dungeon as it really helps with dealing with the paladins whilst farming for ecoplasm
I had a long tunnel in the jungle with two each side, it destroyed plantera because of its rapid damage and large hitbox
I use it with spectre armor, it's good to help recover HP or have some lil extra damage, I almost always use it in events and often on Golem on the temple while using another magic weapon
Honestly the only time I've used it is for the unicorn achievement lol
the most interesting fact that i learned in this video is that man eaters can spawn on platforms
Surely they make it wider and slow down enemies, and give it like a ramp up damage mechanic. Or they just give it an insane amount of knockback and damage so it just acts as a wall.
I think the weapon should either shoot multiple rainbows or make the Rainbows a Charge attack that fires a multi hit beam, like an earlier Charged Blaster Cannon’s Third attack.
the biome weapons are mainly meant to be used for golem , and rainbow gun is good on dealing damage to both the hands and the head , but other weapons are better such as magnet fury or shadowbeam staff
I use it to kill prismatic lacewings during the day; it helps kill it before the lacewing dissapears.
