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.

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

Its best modifiers are Mythical, Furious, or Godly. Due to its low base damage, all damage-improving modifiers +10% or greater improve its damage by the same amount. A Ruthless Abigail's Flower has no lasting advantage over other modifiers, 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, Abigail's Flower can work well 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.

Trivia

 * Despite being a plant, Abigail's Flower cannot be grown by walking over grass blocks with Flower Boots equipped, like other plants.
 * The flavor text of the item is a reference to Wilson's examination quote for the Abigail's Flower in Don't Starve Together.
 * The Stardust Dragon Staff and Desert Tiger Staff are the only other summon weapons that does not spawn a new minion but rather enhance the existing one.
 * Abigail's Flower is tied with the Blade Staff for the lowest base damage of any Summon weapon.
