Flow Invader
The Flow Invader is a Hardmode, post-Lunatic Cultist Enemy that spawns near and is summoned by the Stardust Pillar during the Lunar Events. When it spawns, three smaller minions will appear one at a time and begin orbiting it. The Flow Invader utilizes these as attacks, sending them as 1-2 high-speed projectiles towards the player. The orbiting minions will reappear over time.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- The Flow Invader will launch all of its remaining minions at the player upon death.
Tips[edit | edit source]
- If the Flow Invader is killed shortly after it spawns, fewer minions will be launched at the player.
- Trying to kill this enemy somewhat on-screen will give a player enough reaction time to dodge the projectiles.
