Stardust Dragon Staff

The Stardust Dragon Staff is a post-Golem minion-summon weapon that summons a Stardust Dragon character 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 spawns, the Dragon can sometimes attack every part of it at once and kill the boss almost instantly on non-expert mode
 * Any Piercing Attacks Will not damage the target when It is attacked by the Stardust dragon.
 * Example: Vampire Knives can still hit an enemy being damaged by the dragon as well as any yoyos. The Terrarian can hit the enemy with the yoyo itself, but its effects cannot.
 * With proper minion damage bonuses the dragon can easily take out all bosses(although the Moon Lord will be a challenge, especially in the Expert mode).
