The Star Cloak is a Hardmode accessory that causes three stars to fall around the player whenever the player takes damage. It consumes no mana. The stars pass through blocks until reaching the player's altitude, at which point they continue falling until hitting blocks. They pierce once hitting two targets in total. The Star Cloak has a (Desktop, Console, Mobile and 3DS versions) 1/6 (16.67%) / (Old-gen console version) 1/7 (14.29%) chance to be dropped by Mimics.
On the
Desktop version,
Console version, and
Mobile version, the stars deal 75 / 150 / 225 damage which is not classified as any of the four damage types and therefore cannot be modified by any buffs or equipment. Furthermore, the stars have 25 armor penetration.
On the
Old-gen console version and Nintendo 3DS
version, the stars deal 30 magic damage.

Notes
- (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) The stars of the Star Cloak and all its derivatives have local invincibility frames.
- On the
Desktop version,
Console version, and
Mobile version, the effect is only triggered when the player takes damage from hostile enemies or fall damage, whereas on the
Old-gen console version and Nintendo 3DS
version, it is triggered regardless of the source, including drowning and lava, among others.
- The falling star effects of the Star Cloak, Bee Cloak, Mana Cloak(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), and Star Veil do not stack. Only three stars will fall at a time no matter how many of these items are equipped.
Tips
- The Star Cloak is effective even when deep underground, as the stars will pass through blocks until they are near or past the height of the point where the player took damage. After that point, any foreground block will stop them.
- The effect of the Star Cloak is similar to that of the Starfury, but the stars fall faster, and the focal point is the player rather than the cursor.
- Furthermore, unlike the Starfury's effect, the stars emit light while insubstantially passing through blocks. This lighting effect is much more pronounced than that of the light particles that fall after the stars hit the ground and can be exploited by deliberately taking damage to map out dark areas above the player.
- The Star Cloak is of less use when dealing with a ranged attacker, as the stars will not impact any enemy that is not close to the player at the time.
- (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) With high defense, one can stand on a Spike with the Star Cloak equipped to accumulate large numbers of stars.
- The Star Cloak may be preferable to the Star Veil; while the player will take damage faster, stars will also fall faster, doing more damage.
Trivia
- (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) The Bee Cloak's, Star Cloak's, and Star Veil's projectile is called Hallow Star.
