Gensokyo/Rod of Remorse

The Rod of Remorse is a Hardmode, post-Moon Lord melee weapon. When swung, it creates projectiles that can pierce an infinite number of enemies. The Rod of Remorse's attack (including the projectiles) are unaffected by the target's defense stat and will always deal full damage.

Its alternate attack shoots five lasers each to the left and right of the player, and one massive laser towards the targeted location. Despite the Rod of Remorse being a melee weapon, this attack deals magic damage and has a base mana cost of 150.

The Rod of Remorse becomes available for purchase at the Curio Trader after defeating all Tier 6 Bosses and the Lunatic Cultist. Alternatively, it can be unlocked by defeating any Tier 7 Boss.
