The Aqua Scepter's water particles piercing three Target Dummies.

The Aqua Scepter is a pre-Hardmode magic weapon that auto-fires an arcing stream of water particles. On the  Desktop version,  Console version, and  Mobile version, the projectile can pierce up to 4 targets, hitting a total of 5 targets. On the  Old-gen console version and Nintendo 3DS version, the projectile can pierce an infinite number of targets. The Aqua Scepter has a 1/7 (14.29%) chance of being obtained from the Locked Gold Chests found in the Dungeon, as well as a 1/7 (14.29%) chance of being obtained from Golden Lock Boxes(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions).

The Aqua Scepter can be continuously used to keep enemies juggled. However, the sprite of the Aqua Scepter itself deals no damage. Therefore, an enemy too close to the wielder will not get hit by the water, and simply move past the outstretched wand to hit the player.

Its best modifier is Mythical.

Notes

• Despite being a water-themed weapon, the range is reduced when the player is in water.
  • The Aqua Scepter is also unable to extinguish enemies who are lit On Fire!.
• The Aqua Scepter's attack consists of two separate streams of water superimposed on top of each other, similar to the Golden Shower which has 3. Thus, it will actually pierce 9 enemies per use and will damage the fifth enemy twice.
• In Don't dig up(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) and Get fixed boi(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) seeds, the Aqua Scepter receives the following changes:
  • Switched place with Bubble Gun. As a result, it is dropped by the Duke Fishron instead of found in Locked Gold Chests in Dungeon and Golden Lock Boxes.
  • Damage increased from 27 to 90.
  • Use time decreased from 8 to 5.
  • Value increased from 8 GC75 SC to 25 GC.
  • Now uses local immunity frames and applies 12 local immunity frames per hit.

Tips

• Its particles emit light, so the Aqua Scepter can be useful in scouting out caverns.

Trivia

• The Golden Shower can be considered a Hardmode upgrade of the Aqua Scepter.
• It makes the same sound effect as the Rocket Boots.
• Due to the blue color of the staff portion of the scepter, it can be assumed it is made from cobalt, like most other Dungeon items, i.e. Muramasa, Magic Missile, and of course, the Cobalt Shield.
