Not to be confused with Moonglow.

The Nightglow attacking Mimics.

The Nightglow is a Hardmode, post-Plantera magic weapon that has a 25*1/4 (25%) chance to be dropped by the Empress of Light. When fired, four rainbow-colored projectiles emerge from the player and home in on nearby enemies. Each of the projectiles can pierce enemies and hit three times, resulting in high potential damage, but loses 20% of damage for each enemy struck.

Its best modifier is Mythical.

Notes

• The weapon is visibly held by the player when selected, and provides light.

Trivia

• The Nightglow seems to be based on the Empress of Light's Prismatic Bolts.
• Like the Last Prism, the Nightglow has secret color themes for developers and beta testers. This is triggered by using a specific set of character names:
