Notes

• The shards emitted by the crystal bullet on impact can damage enemies through walls.
• When using this ammunition with the Shotgun or the Clockwork Assault Rifle, each individual projectile will split into shards on impact, potentially causing a great deal of secondary damage.

Tips

• If you can craft a lot of them (at least five full stacks, or 1250 bullets total) and have access to the Megashark, Crystal Bullets are generally the quickest way to beat The Twins and Skeletron Prime. Many of their secondary shards tend to hit (even a single Twin) for multiple hits per shot and the highest possible damage rate (The Destroyer seems to take more damage from Holy Arrows, or the Magical Harp if available). Pre-Hardmode Bosses, including the Wall of Flesh, can be killed in seconds with the Megashark/Crystal Bullets.
• Crystal bullets are useful in killing the Dungeon Guardian or Skeletron Prime once night turns to day. This is because the defense of both the bosses are very high (9999 maximum) and will cause any attack to deal 1 or 2(critical) damage; the shards will each count as an individual projectile, racking up damage faster.
