Optic Staff



The Optic Staff is a Hardmode Minion summoning weapon that summons a miniature version of The Twins in their second form, which follow the player and attack enemies. The summoned pair of characters (named Spazmamini and Retinamini) attack via a melee and ranged laser attack respectively, similar to the behavior of the The Twins boss. Like other minions, the summoned Twins are invincible and follow the player for an unlimited amount of time, unless the player dies, summons a replacement minion, or cancels the buff.

Its best Modifier is Ruthless.

Tips

 * The Optic Staff is effective against bosses, as each eye attacks individually, and is especially effective against The Destroyer, as the mini Spazmatisms will pierce each segment.
 * Each individual Spazmatism and Retinazer does 30 damage each, totaling 60 base damage per pair of hits, meaning it can produce a higher damage rate than even the Tempest Staff (50 base damage). These twins are also more versatile, using both melee and ranged attacks, while the Tempest Staff's sharknadoes only use ranged. It is also arguably better than the Pygmy Staff (34 base damage).
 * They do not do well against a separated mob crowd, and are better for thick mob crowds such as those in the Pumpkin Moon and Frost Moon, as well as in the Dungeon.
