Astral Barrier

The Astral Barrier Wand was a craftable Hardmode summon weapon. When used, it summoned an Astral Barrier that orbited around the player. On contact with an enemy, it dealt damage.

Its best modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stat bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, Minions cannot deal critical hits. The only significant advantage a Mythical Astral Barrier Wand has over a Ruthless one is knockback.
