Minion Summon Items

Minion Summon Items are summon weapons that spawn secondary characters that will aid the player during battle by automatically attacking enemies within range. They cannot be hurt or killed, and deal summon damage. Minions are mobile characters that follow the player.

Whips are related weapons that deal summon damage without summoning any minions. Hitting an enemy with a whip causes a player's minions to target it immediately. Some whips have bonus effects which can be activated by minions.

The best modifier for pre-hardmode minion summon items is generally Mythical, while the best modifier for hardmode minion summon items is generally Ruthless.
