Countering[]
Pulsar is intended to be a rammer, but in fact it is not very deadly. This is mainly because of its incredibly low speed - Pulsar is one of the slowest bosses in the game. This counters the fact its main weapon is body damage. Its missiles are very strong, but they have low speed and always come from the back of the boss, which means they cannot hit players to whom Pulsar is locked.
This makes Pulsar an easy boss to fight, but you must still pay attention. The key is just staying away from it, and not letting it come close. Always keep a distance from the boss. When there are other players around, be careful. Pulsar has a lot of health, and you may be distracted. At this point, you may be vulnerable to players. If a player attacks you, always prioritize it above the Pulsar, almost any tank is deadlier than this boss. If you are attacking it in groups, and you want to kill it, do not be afraid to ram it when it is low on health.
Trivia[]
- Pulsar is one of the only two bosses which are only intended to ram.
- The other one is Magnetar.
- If the Messenger will shoot the Pulsar, Pulsar will deflect the bullets.
- Pulsar commonly spawns with Messenger but may spawn without it.
- It looks like Pulsar Lite, but missile and missile color are different.
- In astromony, a pulsar is a type of highly magnetized, rotating neutron star that emits beams of electromagnetic radiation out of its magnetic poles. These beams of radiation can be detected on Earth as regular pulses or "ticks" of energy, hence the name "pulsar". Pulsars are believed to form when a massive star collapses and its core is compressed to an extremely dense state, resulting in a small, but incredibly dense and rapidly rotating object. They are important objects of study in astrophysics and have been used to test theories of gravity and the nature of matter under extreme conditions.
