Clinger Staff



The Clinger Staff is a Hardmode magic weapon that has a 20% chance to be dropped by a Corrupt Mimic. It generates a 10 blocks tall wall of Cursed Flame, which inflicts the Cursed Inferno debuff and deals damage to any enemy that walks through it. The point at which the wall is generated must be in a direct line of sight. Otherwise, the wall will not generate, though still using mana. The Clinger Staff's wall lasts for about 45 seconds or 20 hits. This weapon has the highest mana usage of all magic weapons in a single use.

Ruthless will make it hit enemies more often and do more damage, but it can negate its power of stopping fighter-type enemies.

Tips

 * Due to the high Knockback this weapon is excellent at keeping enemies away from you.
 * The Clinger Staff excels at killing Worms, as multiple segments can be hit by the wall of flame.
 * The Clinger Staff can be used as a Hardmode substitute for the Flare Gun when farming for fishing bait.

Trivia

 * Contrary to the name, Clingers are unrelated to this item.
