This article is about the mount-summoning item. For the enemy of the same name, see Brain Scrambler. For the enemy of the same appearance, see Scutlix.

The Brain Scrambler is a Hardmode, post-Golem mount-summoning item that summons a rideable Scutlix Mount. The Brain Scrambler has a 1/30 (3.33%) chance to drop from Scutlix Gunners during the Martian Madness event.

The Scutlix Mount offers increased acceleration and land speed (41 mph top speed), increased jump height (20 tiles/40 feet), and its eyes automatically rapid-fire accurate damaging red lasers at nearby enemies. It also reduces fall damage to 1.

The laser projectiles deal 150 base damage, cannot be boosted by any damage bonuses, and cannot critically strike. The Scutlix can only target enemies in its field of vision, which is a roughly 120° cone in front of it, and cannot target enemies behind itself unless the player manually turns it around to face them, which also occurs when the player attacks in that direction.

Notes

• Liquid traversal items like the Lava Waders will allow it to walk on liquid surfaces as well. It will not vanish when touching a liquid.

Tips

• Its extreme maneuverability and the fact that it shoots lasers at enemies make it arguably one of the best mounts on land. However, it cannot fly or double-jump on its own (although the good jump height makes up for this).
• The lasers fire very quickly and have a large detection radius. Hence, at certain smaller screen resolutions, it will shoot at off-screen enemies.
• The Scutlix Mount synergizes well with the Neptune's Shell or any of its upgrades since the maneuverability and lasers of the Scutlix are kept while underwater. Creating entire arenas this way can free an accessory slot which would be used for movement.
• Due to the immense land speed and eye lasers, it is quite useful against the Solar Pillar.
  • However, do keep in mind that the mount's lasers can be reflected by Selenians, which can very quickly prove harmful to the player.

Trivia

• Despite its name, it is neither affiliated with the Brain Scrambler enemy nor dropped by it.
• The Scutlix Mount and the Santank Mount are the only two mounts with ranged attacks, as well as the only damage-dealing mounts to not do summon damage. Coincidentally, they are both land-based mounts.
