The Houndius Shootius attacking a Skeleton.

The Houndius Shootius is a pre-Hardmode summon weapon that summons the Houndius Shootius sentry. It shoots fireballs towards enemies, which dissipate upon contact with enemies or blocks. The Houndius Shootius has a 1/4 (25%) chance of being dropped by Deerclops.

Its best modifiers are Mythical, Furious, or Godly. Rounding reveals that these modifiers provide the same increase to damage as the Ruthless modifier, increasing it from 24 to 28.

Notes

  • The Houndius Shootius will be summoned on the closest blocks directly below the cursor's position.
  • The Houndius Shootius fires a fireball every 1.5 seconds.[1]
  • The Houndius Shootius's eye looks at the player unless an enemy is in range, during which it will look at the enemy instead.
