Alexander, Greek Tyrant

Alexander, Greek Tyrant is a Hardmode boss fought during the Lunar Events. He could be considered the Throwing class equivalent of the 4 Lunar Pillars. He is fought in the Marble biome and is not needed to advance the Lunar Events. He drops brown dwarf fragments, which are used to make throwing weapons and armour.

Summoning
He is summoned with a Celestial Javelin in a Marble biome. The Lunar Events do not have to be active to summon him, but usually players would fight him during the events. He cannot be summoned while the Lunatic Cultist or Moon Lord are alive.

AI
He has a unique take on the Fighter AI to make it more boss-like. He has a dash similar to the Master Ninja Gear to keep up with the player, and if the player is on a higher platform he will use a Topaz Hook to reach them. He has 3 different attacks. The first is the Celestial Javelin attack, which is similar to the Hoplite javelin attack, but with much greater velocity. It also has the colours of the four Lunar Pillars on it.

His second attack is the Flying Sword attack. Occaisonally he throws out spinning sword projectiles, which have a similar AI to Demon Scythes. They look similar to the Adamantite Sword, but bronze.His third and final attack is the spear attack. When the player gets very close to him, he may attack with a spear which has the range of a Mushroom Spear. It has the appearance of a normal spear.

When he reaces 4,500 health, three enemies called The Brothers will appear. Alexander will stop moving and The Brothers would grapple up to him and kill him with throwing knives. After that, they will atempt to kill you too. They do

not affect his drops however.
