Cave Story's weapon leveling mechanics are also the inspiration for this weapon's abilities.

This gun is a reference to the Polar Star from Cave Story.

Trading hearts with the Vampire will not affect the level of Polaris.

Prior to the Advanced Gungeons & Draguns Update, Polaris had 0.07 fire rate.

It does not change level if the player takes damage.

If Polaris is combined with another weapon with Duct Tape it fires all 3 levels every shot, consuming 3 ammo.The symbol for reaching level 3 appears every time after killing an enemy once Polaris is at level 3 and it has killed a large amount of enemies.Prior to the Supply Drop Update, Polaris had 400 maximum ammo.When used alongside Helix Bullets at level 2, the two bullets fired follow the same helical pattern instead of cris-crossing one another.Because of this, level 2 projectiles have double the probability of gaining chance-based bullet effects (e.g., Vorpal Bullets, Katana Bullets, Hungry Bullets, etc.). While level 1 and 3 fire a single projectile of varying damage, level 2 fires two.Polaris's level does not affect its selling price.Level 2 requires killing 11 enemies of any type, while level 3 requires an additional 20.Taking damage while at level 1 resets any progress made towards the next level.Taking any damage, even while the gun is not equipped, will decrease its level.

The gun does not change appearance between levels with this synergy.The distance between the two bullets that fire at level 2 is wider with this synergy.Square Brace - If the player also has Bracket Key or Bionic Leg, Polaris gains 20% increased damage, increased ammo capacity of 700, increased magazine size of 30, increased fire rate when leveled up, automatic firing, and a new appearance.Star Friends - If the player also has Stuffed Star, while Stuffed Star is active and Polaris is held, the player continually fires maximum level Polaris shots in all directions.
