Stardust Cell Staff

The Stardust Cell Staff is a Hardmode summon weapon that summons a Stardust Cell (a minion version of the Star Cell enemy) that can perform a ranged attack and will teleport to enemies out of range. Like other minions, the summoned Stardust Cell is invincible and follows the player for an unlimited amount of time, unless the player dies, summons a replacement minion, or cancels the buff.

The Stardust Cell's ranged attack consists of firing an unavoidable miniature version of itself at an enemy target that it latches onto and deals damage over time to. This damage ticks 30 times before the mini-cell vanishes, and can be stacked as the Stardust Cell continues to fire additional mini-cells onto the target, able to stack for up to 100 damage per "tick". Additionally, the Stardust Cell will occasionally fire an extra shot at any target the player is attacking, without interrupting their standard rate of fire, even if the Stardust Cell is already currently attacking that target. This makes the Stardust Cell Staff very effective at attacking targets with high health.

After teleporting at an enemy, a Stardust Cell will instantly fire a mini-cell.

Trivia

 * The Stardust Cell Staff can be seen as a direct upgrade to the Xeno Staff, as the Stardust Cell, similarly to the UFO minion, never misses.
