Not to be confused with the Royal Scepter, a vanity accessory sold by the Princess.

The Resonance Scepter is a Hardmode, post-Plantera wand that has a 1/8 (12.5%) chance of being dropped by the Princess. When used, it creates pink circular auras at the cursor's location, which expand and then collapse into sparkles over the course of 1 second.[1] The auras deal rapid damage[2] and knockback.

Although the projectile appears to instantly travel to its target, there must be a clear line of sight between the player and the cursor's location; the projectile will be summoned at the location of impact with the first block.

Its best modifier is Mythical.

Notes

  • The aura can strike enemies infinitely, but its damage will be reduced by 2% after each strike.[3]
  • The aura deals damage within a 6.5×6.5-tile square area centered on the cursor's position.[4]
  • The aura always knocks enemies directly away from the player.[3]
  • This content is transcluded from NPCs/dropnote.Since town NPCs cannot be damaged by players normally, external damage sources must be used to obtain this item. The Flymeal(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) is one of the easiest options; other effective options include traps, lava, drowning, Boulders or Rolling Cacti(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), enemies, Explosive Bunnies, Land Mines, or the Halloween-exclusive Rotten Eggs (in tandem with Frost armor).
  • Although the Princess is available in pre-Hardmode in Celebrationmk10 worlds, she will only drop the Resonance Scepter after the Wall of Flesh has been defeated. However, this does make it available prior to defeating Plantera, unlike all other worlds.

Trivia

  • The Princess uses the same attack against enemies, although the scepter itself is not shown.
  • The properties of its projectiles are similar to the Life Drain: they damage enemies in a radius, and they appear to travel instantly but are stopped by blocks.

History

  • Desktop 1.4.2.3: No longer drops pre-Hardmode, if the Princess is somehow obtained pre-Hardmode.
