- So, this Terraria weapon is actually insane now... The Super Star Shooter. In this video, I take a look at mid mechanic boss powerful ranged weapon that has received a massive buff in the Terraria 1.4.4 update. This weapon has always been pretty good, but rarely used due to how expensive it fallen star ammunition is. The question is, with these new buffs added, is this now insanely powerful weapon actually worth the effort now? Lets take a look!

I wish stars could be purchased, might be a bit op but I guess they could cost a gold each!
I agree
If it costs a gold per star you might as well just use coin gun!
Star merchant? 🤔
You can in modded but no modded 1.4.4 sadly
yea
"It costs $400,000 to fire this gun for 12 seconds"
alright… WHO TOUCHED MY GUN?
That's the coin gun G
Some people think they can out smart me maybe "sniff" maybe I've yet to me one that can out smart bullet
oh no you commented before me now i have too deleate my comment
WHO TOUCHED SASHA?!
If you plan on using this during a playthrough, I'd recommend gathering fallen stars everytime there's a meteor shower. You'll end up with way more stars each time and you'll slowly have enough by hardmode without it feeling like a grind.
Edit: Yea you can build a platform across the map and I'm sure it'd work better in the long run but the point of my suggestion was to make gathering stars not feel like a grind. So it's personal preference whether or not you wanna take the extra time to build a skybridge for more efficiency or just casually run across the surface.
Wait there are meteor showers now?
@@antonindufournaud6572 yes, you can even see it on the menu screen
@@antonindufournaud6572 Yea, they just kinda fall in the background. If you've ever noticed a night where there's tons of fallen stars everywhere that's why.
I always do this anyways, just entered hardmode at a normal rate of progression (maybe 10 hours in?) and i've picked up over 450 stars without really going out of my way to get them
You can make a bridge under space that is the length of the map and pick up all the stars real fast I love being able to use stars as ammo this game is so good
It's so satisfying to see those visual effects when the stars hit multiple targets

In the new "dontclimbup" seed, the usability is a little more bearable since... pots have stars, slimes have stars - you're swimming in the darn things.
fyi it’s dont*dig*up :)
Between that, the ashwood, living in hell, and the entire surface being evil, dontdigup is my undisputed favorite seed
Yeah... too bad if you play on the Zenith seed this weapon becomes utter garbage because almost every single boss reflects the star projectiles.
@@kwableguy9795 deflects* "reflects" usually refers to light projection, it's an easy mistake to make lol
@@waynewilliams4727 reflect in video games also means to send an attack back at its originator, IE reflect damage.
the tail of the destroyer when it is coiled up is such a big and easy target. I got like 30-50k dps easily. such an amazing weapon.
100k aimed perfectly
Zenith: I’m a joke to you?
@@zsopro5510 yes.
@@zsopro5510 Yes you absolute clown
@@theonlyshinyumbreon Exactly, Zenith IS a joke. By the time you can get it there's nothing worth using it on, it's just a trophy.
I’d recommend taking a look at the Christmas tree sword. I’ve found it to be a massively underrated weapon.
Did It get changed in 1.4.4?
@@TwixtheWizard It got buffed in 1.4.
@@pikachufrankie didn't it get added in 1.4?
@@mayadafox no it got added WAY before
@@mayadafox It's been in the game for a LONG time now. It recently got buffed, though, and it's much more useful compared to before 1.4.
I'd say its better as a side/emergency weapon rather than a main weapon
exactly, plus when you consider that fallen stars aren't particularly useful to non-mage builds, you might as well shoot out the stars in your chest by a powerful gun
More of a event weapon. For special events or bosses
That way you can also conserve stars
When your secondary is more powerful than your primary
@@victorvirgili4447 It's like going to a war with a toy gun in your hand & a nuke in your pocket.
I believe this is a well deserved buff for the Super Star Shooter! Now it's even better than ever and it can handle scores of enemies without so much as breaking a sweat! As you've made mention in the video, yeah, the fallen stars are going to be quite a hassle to farm but at least they're farmable! I'd say it's more of a trade-off since it does so gosh darn well!
We could dupe en too

On the remix seed it's actually really easy to farm stars since slimes can carry then. A typical mob farm passively doubles as a star farm, and slimes from King slime count too making him a decent source of stars.
Some have mentioned already but with meteor showers you can get quite a bit of fallen stars overtime. I tend to do what I call 'surface runs' before a night ends if I can to save up, I usually end up with a couple hundred by hardmode, then more mobility = more stars. I do think it's a 'niche' weapon still, more of a novelty weapon really, defo worth picking up if you've never considered due to stars :)
Oh, I did that all the time when I was working on a mediumcore master FTW playthrough, it's an insane strategy for sure considering how simple it is!
Poor Destroyer, it gets destroyed by the newly buffed Night's Edge and Super Star Shooter now
I wont be surprised if Destroyer becomes the most cheesable boss of the decade
@@necron8992 Duke fishron be like: if the case is strong bosses, King slime are the easiest boss to cheese!

@@i_saidmeow2469 idk about spears but ok
Your content is so addicting, ive literally been watching every video you post. Super informative and high quality, keep it up!
Always loved the super star shooter, even more now
Haven’t had a chance to use it but I think the nail gun is still my favorite for mobbing and bosses, although it’s a bit harder to obtain
The main advantage to having a weapon like this in the game is for Master mode + challenge seed runs. If some boss begins walling you off, you can always rely on the star cannon(s) to put your DPS slightly ahead of progression to give you the boost you need to continue.
woah sock, i was just watching your terrablade video moments ago and you decided to upload this just now.
DPS? Comparable to Post-Skeletron and early Hardmode guns
Functionality? Easy to aim with fast projectiles on top of infinite pierce with the right ammo
Obtainability? Pre-boss, just a desert's trip away
Susteinability? Get the fossil set and you can infinitely dupe its ammo.
Sandgun time.
Worst weapon in terraria lol
Sandgun only sounds like a fun run, in Classic... In Expert it sounds like a challenging run. In Master it sounds like a painful run, and in "Legendary" it sounds like you need to get away from your computer you've clearly gone insane. However... Sand stacks to 9999 now...
@@livedandletdie The Sandgun has the biggest DPS for almost anything on that stage game; I've done all the pre-hardmode bosses with Sandgun on Expert before and they're trivial.
Seriously, look up its stats. It's genuinely comparable to the Hellwing Bow or the Phoenix Blaster, post-Skeletron weapons that are used vs the WoF on top of having infinite pierce. If you put rails on the bottom of the arena then the sand isn't a problem as it wouldn't spawn and would just drop as an item. It's a genuinely underated weapon
Best terraria youtuber at it again, glad I catched this upload earlier
I actually subscribed when you talked about it; It does sometimes help!
I've always wanted to use this weapon but I never thought of it as an option due to the price of stars, I might reconsider though because of the buff. Especially after the farm idea. Cool video nice work!
Great video as usual but i found the 17 minute uncut shot of you sitting in your chair eating the remains of the kids in your basement was kinda unexpected lol
I would recommend looking for things that reduce the use of ammo, even if it is the ammo box, you can greatly increase your number of stars fired
i feel like im watching an ign review every time i watch one of your videos the voice over and editing just does it for me
I've always found using this (and it's little brother) a great tool for the Old One's Army event. It's great for busting through the event, in my eyes, earlier than you're supposed to. Due to the event's horizontal nature and slow moving enemies, chilling next to the center gem and waiting for a massive line of enemies to form on either side set up HUGE damage potential. Three or four stars to each side clears them off, leaving only a few severely weakened high health enemies that can be quickly picked off. By destroying the crowds it opens up potential for other weapons to shine, especially those that lack piercing and AOE since the damage is now guaranteed to hit your target instead of a low threat mook.
Nice video mate. Subscribed since 2021. Your voice is awesome
I may have to use this at some point, since one run I'm doing is a Ranger run in a Remix world.
*IMPORTANT NOTE:* This and many other non-bullet/arrow weapons are now boosted by the Shroomite Helmet’s x1.15 set bonus!!!
holy hell
“It requires a whole night of grinding stars to fire this weapon.. for ten seconds.”
1:40 omg thats so satisfing i realy like the star cannon but the ubgrade was a bit to slow for me to use
Nice seeing this boy get recognized
I used in a recent play through it’s so good!
On a standard playthrough as a non ranger characters I'll still gather and use at least 1000 fallen stars prehardmode because I spend a lot of time fishing. When it rains I stop and catch 60+ worms per storm, then use it to catch another 1000 Honeyfins which I use as healing potions and cook into sea food dinners to maintain a constant teir 2 well fed buff. I also like gathering the fishing quest/lava fishing furniture and maxing out my fishing load out (lava proof tackle bag, angler tackle bag, angler earring, glowing fishing bobber)
Use a skybridge item hoik for the stars, it'll transport them much faster to you so there's little to no chance of them despawning come daytime unlike conveyors.
When playing in modded, I've found the star weapons to be a lot more interesting with Alchemist NPC. One of the NPCs added sells you stars, and while buying loads of them costs a ton, it's much easier to farm money or even just passively gain it over time. In my opinion, a much better trade-off to be able to use a powerful weapon.
I love the star cannon and the super star shooter but I didn't use it when it releases because you had to buy from the traveling merchant
In my last playthrough a year ago I was a ranger class and was only passively farming for these, maybe getting 20 or so per night, and was using the star cannon every now and then before moving onto other things, definitely worth it.
man these videos bring me joy
playing 1.4.4 and I absolutely love the reworked swords, Excalibur / True Excalibur especially are so good
I loved the star cannon and I learned about its upgrade and waited patiently for the wandering trader to sell it but he never did I’m so excited that you can actually craft its upgrade now
If you intend to play the zenith seed, you can actually AFK farm stars quite easily with an underground mob farm since they have a chance to spawn in slimes. This even applies to mother slimes and their babies.
buff to destroyer (for expert mode): the destroyers heath is halved but the probes can give off protection auras (they look like Martian Probe scanning auras) that disables piercing to any (or pacifies summons for a second) projectile that they see. Probes will also spread away from each other and the player to cover as much area as possible in the arena and to not get get immediately destroyed.
For the lulz the destroyer could have a second phase in legendary mode. When the destroyer is destroyed all of the probes (plus an extra 30) will start to make a projection of a Mechanized Brain of Cthulhu called "The Projection". The Projection is indestructible and acts as a meat shield for the probes witch will move around the brain periodically to shoot. Piercing projectiles or lasers from probes don't go through on The Projection). Damaged probes will rush the player similar to the eye then explode like dynamite (griefing is on) after beeping on the player. If the The Projection takes too much damage it will stop being a projection and become real (you can tell it's real because it will now look real) and Probes will suicide bomb NPC's and the player (griefing is on). The now real Projection will now act like BoC in it's second phase but instead of teleporting it will shoot a Big Red Moon Lord Laser and the former Projection cannot be told the difference from it's illusions (hint: Illusions do not fire a Big Red Moon Lord Lasers).
This was perfect for journey skyblock, infinite ammo made this weapon so good for old one’s army and other hardmode events, and the mech bosses were easy as hell
Why'd you have to hit me with the underground theme at the start 💀
I think they shoul make the stars craftable into fragments which then are used as ammo, you would get about 5-10 per craft to make the grind less aggravating, otherwise, good weapon good video! Love your content
I've been thinking of entering hardmode on a classic world, so I can beat the wall of flesh in master mode. I'll have to try this with chlorphite armor, & planteras bulb
"It takes 700,000 minutes of AFKing during the night to fire this weapon for 13 seconds"
Id love to see a video on the psycho knife or whatever it’s called
In the Remix seed you can get Fallen stars pretty easily from slimes and breaking pots. It might find another niche there because it's honestly quite a bit easier to get lots of stars on that seed.
Been using the Star Cannon on my Journey World, and yeah it’s pretty busted with infinite stars. I’m not in Hardmode yet so I’ll have to wait and see how insane the upgrade is.
Also I completely forgot about the Coin Gun, I definitely won’t make 9999 Platinum and shred everything with it 😂
good weapon for if you have stars anyways, use it for bosses and have a backup weapon just in case you run out of ammo
By the time you finish Golem, you can fight Duke, then you get the Tsunami which is a good ranged weapon, the main catch of the Super Star Shooter is the infinite pierce making it good for invasions, but we can get that same thing with Tsunami+Jester's arrows and the Magic Quiver
Just not a straight line or pierce though
Me and my friends are doing a playthrough on the zenith seed and ammo almost isn't a problem there at all, since stars drop from slides and pots frequently. Within the first hour of playing I think I had my mana maxed out lol
A tip with this weapon. Make the conveyor thing or an item hoik across the world, do non combat prep stuff at night, before the night is over return to the collection point. You will passively obtain stars and ammo isn't a huge issue. I'd say ammo reservation effects are pretty much mandatory.
I don't know about other seeds, but in getfixedboi slimes carrying fallen stars spawn very frequently and with a basic mob farm I have gotten over 2k in just a few hours of afking
With the max stacks plus mod if you go over 1000 of any ammunition it becomes unlimited you still have to grind for it but I think it’s pretty cool and rewarding once obtained.
I've been struggling against expert planters and have one of these hanging around, boy am I having fun with this one tomorrow!
"Unless you're a journey mode player, then go nuts"
Unless you're in for the worthy, where bosses are effectively immune to the star cannon.
(Though thankfully they still work on invasions)
I like a duck explaining about terreria and it’s weapons :)
keep up the work bro
Genuinely one of my favorite weapons, cant do a ranged playthrough without it
Impressive my friends and I might plan on using it because the desroyer is really hard to kill In master mode
Even before the buff it was a really cute boss destroyer...took out Fishron with it straight after getting it...well it took a few world reloads to get a traveling merchant to get it but still...was worth it.
i love how sockrteez is all serious and informational and then every once and a while he puts up some goofy af image
With the subscriber ratio thing:
Analytics can really get in your head and while of course, respect the grind and all that, I wouldn't want to see too much stress caused by it.
One thing I think that it helps to remember with the subscriber ratio thing, is that while a very low % of subscribers could be taken to mean that those subscribed aren't watching your videos much, it can also be taken the opposite direction, to say that your videos are performing *so well* in the broader scope of youtube that they're being recommended to and watched by a massive amount of new people.
Don't let youtube's intentionally demeaning analytics beat you down, you're going strong. Keep at it.
The base star cannon was always my favorite weapon in 1.2.4 not that I used it much cause I hated finding stars but every time I had left over stars it was way too much fun to waste it and mow through enemies lol
Next time I play ranger, I'm definitely getting it just to demolish Destroyer and maybe use as a secondary. I usually fight and beat Skeletron Prime first out of the mechs anyway so having an immediate weapon that handles Destroyer soon after that fight works wonders.
Really good weapon, even if the ammo type it uses is a bit of a hassle to collect and preserve.
Useful up to and including fishron for ranged playthroughs. It does lose to terra blade in dps at that point though but ranged is at its lowest here imo. It still does more damage than the venus magnum with chloro bullets.
But then you get the tsunami and your dps gets multiplied by like 4 with venom arrows.
This weapon has such a cool and interesting concept it’s really great that it’s actually worth while now.
You can farm for stars easily at the remix seed since pots and slimes can contain them at anytime
In the calamity mod there is a biome that makes farming stars easy since every enemy drops star dust allowing my ranger enough stars to make use of this weapon and its subsequent upgrades.
Would want to see something to make fallen star farming a bit more simple or practical. Something like a massive area of effect furniture piece that can magnetise specifically fallen stars, or having something like "star rain" that might happen in place of regular rain but drops fallen stars at an increased rate and even during the day.
That's kinda crazy though and removes the only thing that might make the star shooter not viable.
If stars were easier to obtain it would be way to broken
the inf pierce and 75% base dmg after effect makes it probaly the 2nd best croud control weapon
I made this in a semi-recent play through, and had plenty of ammo because I never got rid of fallen stars when I got them in prehardmode. Because of this I ended up with about 700 stars I could use as ammo when I made the weapon.
If there were other star types that involves other cool effects, this weapon will truly shine.
This weapon to me is like an ace up your sleeve like for the final wave in Tier 2 Old one's Army
But like low key we gotta appreciate the quality and frequency of these videos, like bro this is epic
Not sure how accurate this is, but i think lantern nights, aka the event that happens the night after a boss kill increases the amount of fallen stars that night
I'm unsure if they patched it out but you can also line the top of your world with a hoik so when a star crashes into it, it will fly over to wherever the mid point is letting you farm way faster.
I haven't played a single playthrough that wasn't journey mode since 1.4 was released. Some things I just can't be bothered to endlessly farm, like harvesting plants, fishing... Turning up spawnrates and changing the time are also fantastic. So ammo definetely wouldn't be a problem. However I never even noticed the weapon existed until my last playthrough, which was mostly the reworked swords, so I didn't use it.
an important additional note is that In get fixed Boi and don't dig up pots drop stars, so there's a limited supply but you'll get them alot near the beginning and as you naturally explore
The Star Shooters don't work on bosses in the GetFixedBoi seed.
I'm using it in my current playthrough and I'm shocked it isn't spoken of
Not sure if this is true but i noticed that if u have a small platform in the sky and u sleep there lots of stars fall on the platform with u
my usual strat is to just leave terraria on overnight and use a minecart track + platform bridge. lets you afk without dealing with mobs (if you set the edges to bumpers) and you can do it prehardmode to get stars for the OG star cannon
I honestly thought I was already subscribed, just double checked and I wasn't lol. Great video!
I thought Iwas subscribed because I watch your videos so frequently lmao
I always looking at Super Star Shooter as an anime reference Black Rock Shooter
You should talk about the phantasm bow
Many people think its not as good as the vortex beater but it surpasses the guns dps like incredibly
They should like make the arms dealer or something sell stars if you've got this in the inventory on shooting star nights after some point in progression.
when i originally used this in 1.4 i made an entire world for farming stars. built a hoik array on a sky bridge and put a bed next to the pickup spot. sleep till night, sleep till almost dawn, turn on the hoiks and collect everything, then rinse and repeat
ah yes the star cannon was the weapon that sold me on this game i was hype when i saw the upgraded version in the journey's end update, and now it got a shiny new buff? hell yeah making one of my favorite weapons even more rewarding to use. a must have on any ranger playthrough!
There videos for stuff like this but you can use actuators and hoiks to make a much better skybridge that’ll net a few hundred stars a night on a large world.
I basically only use this in journey worlds (where I’ll play master or expert) generally tho I only bother with the star cannon but depending on what spawns I’ll upgrade it if I gets mech boss before fishron. Base star cannon is enough in my experience to beat duke with a grav pot strategy but if u her destroyer or smth to spawn then yeah star cannon is ok.
omg u on 60k subs already 😳😳
for me, star canon in itself is helpful againts pretty much any boss in pre-hardmode (classic difficulty)
mostly cause i use the aim button a lot
"ah yes, we should give the players aim bot againts every boss we have, it's definitely not gonna help them in the fight what-so-ever"
I have one question, in past videos everytime you end them, you always used the weapon in focus on large groups of enemies in rapid-fire style, how do you do that? With accessories? Or just a mod?
I think you forgot a feature that when you sleep at night it increases star drop chance so if you sleep in between that conveyor belt build you made I think you could squeeze out some more stars.
The star canons are something I only use once. Usually not even until whatever boss I’m fighting is under half hp. After that I’ll be out of stars, and at least I can get a refund on hallowed bars by chucking it into shimmer
I think if we could spawn fallen stars with the star statue or if a hardmode enemy dropped them itd be worth using outside journey mode, but as you said once you beat planterra it falls off.
