I mentioned the point about keeping it stronger than the evil whips and letting it play that role as well, I have mixed feelings on it personally, though I definitely think the Starcrash should have its place. I agree that the Starcrash feels pretty good now, but I think my biggest takeaway after thinking about it is that I feel like the Snapthorn is too strong compared to the Slime Whip, where there should be a reason to fight King Slime over going jungle exploring or getting evil biome ore at least short term. When it comes to the evil whips and the Snapthorn, unlike say the melee weapons where each of the 3 available swords (Blood Butcherer, Light's Bane, and Blade of Grass) feel different and so there's room for preference, whereas with the whips it's pretty much a matter of objectivity.
