Rainbow Rod's Projectile

Rainbow Rod's projectile being controlled by the player

Not to be confused with the Rainbow Gun.

The Rainbow Rod is a Hardmode magic weapon that launches a controllable projectile, similar to the Flamelash or Magic Missile. The projectile is white, and emits a good deal of light that rotates through the entire color spectrum. Unlike the Flamelash, the Rainbow Rod's projectile can move through water without dissipating, as well as lava. It can be controlled for up to one minute before dissipating. The Rainbow Rod can either be obtained from crafting (Template:Mobile iconor from Chaos Elementals).

Its best Modifier is Mythical.

Tips

• The Rainbow Rod can also be used to light areas remotely.
• Template:Pc-console iconThe Rainbow Rod can be used in conjunction with Binoculars to increase the range of the projectile.
• Template:Pc-console iconHovering over any slots in the inventory (should it be open) will cause the loss of control of any controlled projectile, flinging it forwards in the direction the cursor was last moving.
  • Template:Mobile iconOpening the inventory will make it fling in the direction the player's finger was moving.
