Stardust Dragon Staff

The Stardust Dragon Staff is a minion-summon weapon that summons a Stardust Dragon that attacks enemies. The Stardust Dragon is in constant flight and flies through blocks, attacking enemies by flying through them continuously. It leaves a trail of sparkles that provide periodic bursts of light as it moves.

The Stardust Dragon Staff is unique in that if summoned more than once, multiple Dragons do not spawn &mdash; instead, the first spawned Dragon becomes longer by one segment for each additional summoning, broadening its area of attack and increasing its damage output.

Its best Modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stats bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Minions cannot deal critical hits.

Tips

 * The Stardust Dragon Staff is extremely useful for farming, as high-level summons of it are capable of killing even the toughest non-boss mobs.
 * Due to the way The Destroyer works, the Dragon can sometimes attack every part of it at once and kill the boss almost instantly, surpassing even 30,000 damage points per second. This even works on Expert Mode.
 * With proper minion damage bonuses the Stardust Dragon can easily take out all bosses with the exception of the Moon Lord, which takes longer.

Trivia
The Stardust Dragon Staff may be reference to the Yu-gi-oh! Card, Stardust Dragon. Aside from having the same name, the two dragons are similar in appearance.
