Staff of Earth

The Staff of Earth is a boulder shooting magic weapon that is dropped by the Golem. It summons a Lihzahrd style Boulder that will pierce multiple enemies, dealing damage with the impact and then roll on the ground, dealing additional damage. The actual damage done by the boulder depends on its velocity at the time of impact, and is about twice the value on the tooltip at maximum speed. Multiple boulders can be summoned to deal massive ground damage, as the boulders act like large Spiky Balls.

Tips

 * Boulders can be fired through one block-thick walls and doors, making it useful for attacking enemies while being shielded by blocks.
 * If a boulder is moving slowly or not moving at all, it will only do 1 damage to enemies and 2 on critical strike. However, knockback will still apply, allowing you to slowdown enemies.
 * One way to get maximum damage is to fire boulders from above, downward. This can be useful if attacking groups of enemies from above.
