Abigail's Flower

Abigail's Flower is a pre-Hardmode summon weapon that summons the Abigail minion. Abigail attacks by floating to enemies and flashing a light on them, similar to the Medusa Head. When idle, the summon will still do damage towards entities.

Like the Stardust Dragon and the Desert Tiger, Abigail can only be summoned once but will gain damage and movement speed the more times she is summoned. Each time you re-summon her, an additional empty minion slot will be occupied.

Abigail's Flower can be uncommonly found as a growing on grass near a placed Tombstone, regardless of world progression. Its spawn chance is increased in a Constant world.

Its best modifiers are either Mythical, Furious, or Godly in Pre-Hardmode. Due to its low base damage, all damage-improving modifiers of +10% or greater improve its damage by the same amount. The Ruthless modifier has no lasting advantage over the others mentioned, as it deals less knockback.

Tips

 * It may help to make a large area of Tombstones evenly spaced out in large areas while trying to obtain this item, as it will have more potential locations to grow.
 * It is best to be used with another item that can counter an enemy's movement, as Abigail cannot move while attacking.
 * Despite being a pre-Hardmode summon weapon, the damage of Abigail's Flower when buffed by Summoner armors and accessories will scale in Hardmode, and can be a good substitute to Hardmode summon items, particularly due to the fact that it gains additional damage per summon in Hardmode. This is especially noticeable when paired with the Firecracker.
 * Conversely, avoid using Abigail's Flower with weapons that apply Frostburn like the Cool Whip. As its damage over time is not multiplicative unlike On Fire!.
