Queen Spider Staff



The Queen Spider Staff is a Hardmode Magic Weapon that summons a stationary "Queen Spider" character that lasts for one minute, firing spider eggs at enemies, and inflicting Minion damage. The eggs are affected by gravity and can roll for a decent distance (including on Wooden Platforms) before breaking and releasing auto-targeting baby spiders, which perform suicide attacks on enemies.

Although the Queen Spider is considered a Minion, it is unlike other Minions in that it only last one minute, does not follow the player, and does not count toward the minion cap. It can be summoned simultaneously with other traditional minions, and will not cause another minion to despawn.

The Queen Spider can be summoned in any area of the visible screen, even if blocks completely separate the player from the point chosen. It only requires blocks to land on, and will not stand on platforms.

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. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits.

Tips

 * Because the Spider Fang item is a common drop (3/4 chance) from black Recluse spiders, the Queen Spider Staff is easy to obtain and a useful aid in surviving early Hardmode.
 * The Staff can be sold for 5 gold whereas the materials needed only sell for 1 Gold coin, 2 Silver coins (24 Spider fangs), which makes selling the staff as opposed to the fangs a good way to make money.
