The Brain Scrambler is a Hardmode, post-Golem enemy that appears during the Martian Madness event. It fires green laser projectiles, at a maximum fire rate of once every 0.67 seconds (40 ticks[1]),[2] which have a chance to inflict the Confused debuff.

Tips[]

  • It is recommended to use ranged or high-knockback weapons against it to keep it away, and to delay the travel of its weapon's projectiles.

Trivia[]

The BestiaryBestiary entry for the Brain Scrambler: "These Martian soldiers brandish crude laser weaponry that releases dangerous short-range radiation, hence the protective helmets."

History[]

  1. A tick is a time unit countable by the software. Most of Terraria's updating logic happens every tick. A tick has the length of 1/60th of a second, hence there are 60 ticks in a second and 3600 ticks in a minute.
  2. Information taken from the PC version PC 1.4.1.2 source code, method AI_003_Fighters() in Terraria.NPC.cs. There may be inaccuracies, as the current PC version PC version is 1.4.4.9.
